Homes, where basement walls appear to be leaning inward, may be experiencing a problem plaguing many homeowners in Baltimore and beyond—leaning walls. Leaning walls are a safety issue as they can lead to structural problems.
Fortunately, homeowners in the Baltimore area can rely on Accurate Builders of the Chesapeake to have proven solutions and expertise for all their basement and foundation problems.
During heavy rains or flooding, the soil surrounding a home becomes saturated with water. All the extra water exerts an extreme force on foundation walls beyond their designed structural capacity. As a result, the walls may buckle or lean, creating a potential danger to the home.
The load-bearing basement and foundation walls support a home. The building’s structural integrity may be compromised if these walls lean too much. Leaning foundation walls should be addressed immediately to avoid danger and additional damage.
Repair solutions depend on the severity of the leaning. If movement is identified early on, carbon fiber straps, helical tiebacks, or steel support braces can be added to prevent further movement. However, if the movement is too severe, excavation of the soil surrounding the home and straightening or replacing the wall will be necessary.
A family’s safety is too important to trust any foundation repair company. Homeowners need to know that the repairs to a home have been completed right the first time. That’s why Baltimore area homeowners trust Accurate Builders of the Chesapeake for their foundation problems.
