Floor Cracks and Bowing Walls in Lynchburg: Scary Foundation Damage Signs

Some foundation troubles are easier to notice than others. Seeing a cracked floor can be alarming, just like inward bowing walls in a basement. Lynchburg’s rainy season can cause foundations to shift and for the pressure of heavy soil to actually move the walls inward.

We remedy bowing walls in Lynchburg by installing wall anchors or heavy-duty braces that stop the walls from shifting any further. Then, we examine the outside of your home to remedy any drainage issues around the house that could be leading to heavy, water-drenched soil.
