Bowing wall repair in Chattanooga, TN

Clay soil swells when wet and pushes against basement walls. Over years, a block or poured wall can crack horizontally and lean inward. Stopping that movement early is much cheaper than rebuilding the wall.

Carbon-fiber straps, steel I-beam braces and wall anchors are the usual fixes. The contractor chooses based on how far the wall has moved and what's outside it.
