Immediate Foundation Repair

You will need an Austin foundation repair if your foundation walls are buckling, bowing, or showing any signs of inward movement. Some of the obvious signs that can occur under this type of situation are home foundation walls sliding inwards on the bottom, foundation walls that are leaning in at the top, stair-step cracking occurring along the foundation wall, expansive clay soil appearing around the structure, and inward bulging or bowing along the foundation walls.

These are all serious indications that you must immediately fix your foundation wall. You will be able to do this by installing foundation wall anchors alongside the bowing wall. You also will need to use a clamping type pressure to restore and stabilize the wall. If these is a space issue that will not allow you to use the wall anchor installation method then there are other alternative wall reinforcing systems available.

The biggest reason why these situations occur are because the soil that surrounds your home is putting a tremendous pressure on the foundation wall. The amount of pressure that is put on a foundation wall will depend on four different factors. Those four different factors include temperature conditions, type of soil surrounding the foundation, moisture content in the soil, and the underground depth of the foundation.
