If you own a house in Green Bay WI and you are dealing with Foundation issues, this may be the right article to read! Down below, I go over how you should properly repair a leaking or damaged basement foundation wall. Just remember, if it is not done properly it will only cause further issues and headaches down the road!
Now, what do you need in order to fix a bowing or cracking wall? The first thing I would recommend doing is consulting with a foundation expert and have a full inspection done. A foundation inspector will give you advice on exactly what should be done to repair things properly, and they have the state license to back that up. If you start calling a bunch of different foundation contractors they are going to try and sell you on their product and how it can best fit your situation.
If you have a cracking wall the foundation inspector will most likely tell you that there is issues with the grading around the exterior which need to be addressed. They will also go into how your landscaping should be properly handled so the leaking wall no longer happens. Most inspectors have a Rolodex of foundation contractors they would recommend and that is WHO I would go with. There should be no conflict of interest, but they do see who does the highest quality work throughout the Valley.
Once you get the report from the inspection those are the next steps you should take to properly repairing the wall or foundation issue. Once that is done and maintained over the course of your ownership you should not have any other issues with bowing or cracking of walls.
