SYMPTOMS OF POOR WALL SUPPORT IN HUNTSVILLE
Excessive hydrostatic pressure on basement walls can lead to serious structural problems. Over time, rain and melted snow get absorbed into the earth around basement walls and can eventually compromise the structural integrity of the entire home.
This issue usually leads to the appearance of leaning or bowed walls. Some homeowners may even notice cracks in their basement walls. It’s critical to address these issues before water begins to seep into your basement, which can often be a sign of more advanced damage.
