Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about bowing wall repair in Silver Spring, MD.
Bowing Wall Repair Silver Spring, MD
Hydrostatic Forces Behind Bowing Walls in Silver Spring
In Silver Spring, heavy seasonal rainfall saturates the backfill zone surrounding residential foundations. As the local clay soils swell, hydrostatic pressure exerts thousands of pounds of lateral force against poured concrete and cinder block basement walls. When this load exceeds the wall's tensile capacity, horizontal cracking develops and walls begin to bulge inward.
