Common Causes of Wall Bowing & Tilting

The first signs of foundation problems or structural instability are bowing or tilting walls. Reduced wall stability can be due to:

• Wall Destabilization – Wall destabilization can occur due to any of the reasons below: hydrostatic pressure, interior water intrusion, heavy traffic, heavy loads, poor design or build, and frost-heaving.
• Hydrostatic Pressure – Hydrostatic pressure occurs when water builds up around the foundation and isn’t correctly diverted by a drainage system. This increases the volume of the soil outside the walls, causing it to push against the walls and foundation. Eventually, the walls will become bowed, tilted, or unstable.
• Interior Water Intrusion – Water and moisture damage, along with humidity, can cause masonry decay, rotting wood, mold, mildew growth, insulation damage, and pest and animal infestations that affect the structural stability of walls. The masonry or brick-and-mortar crumbles as the wall absorbs moisture and then dries.
• Heavy Traffic – Over time, heavy traffic or nearby construction can cause soil erosion and shift in the foundation, leading to wall instability.
• Heavier Loads – Heavier loads on floors, especially due to added extensions, can put pressure on walls and the ground and lead to wall bowing.
• Insufficient Wall Design or Build – Walls that are not as thick as needed about the height of the building can cause wall bowing, tilting, and instability.
• Frost-Heaving – Frequent freezing and thawing of the soil outside your home’s foundation can increase the volume of soil and cause it to push up against your walls until they bow or crack. The soil can also rise as it freezes, exerting pressure on the foundation walls and causing them to bow or crack.
