If your foundation looks damaged beyond repair, we understand if you want to get rid of it all and simply replace it. If you aren’t familiar with many foundation repair solutions, the situation in your basement might seem like something that needs a total overhaul. However, understand that replacing your foundation walls is a lot more expensive, time-consuming, and unreliable than repairing them. This is because the soil, which is what damaged your foundation in the first place, will not go away just because you replaced the walls. Unless you have a permanent repair solution installed, you will experience the same problem again. Foundation walls get damaged when hydrostatic pressure exerts an incredible amount of force upon the walls. Replacing foundation walls with new ones does not solve this issue because the same Miami clay soil that caused the problems will still be there. The rainwater and melted snow will seep into the soil and accumulate once more in a few short years, especially given the amount of rain and storms Indiana gets during the summer. To fix the problem, you need a solution that can control the amount of groundwater outside of your foundation. As for your walls, these can be fixed with wall anchors or wall braces. Before thinking that your basement walls are beyond repair, contact us for a free inspection. Even walls that are bowing more than two inches forward can be repaired. Using a wall anchor system, we can create enough force to stabilize the wall and completely stop the bowing. The wall anchor system is bolted to the wall and said bolt can be tightened over time to straighten the wall out. This solution is permanent, so you won’t have to worry about hydrostatic pressure affecting that wall again.
