A bow in a basement wall could be caused by improper grading, un-managed gutter systems, poorly placed downspouts, and other problems that lead to soil saturation. Moisture causes soil to expand, and this puts additional pressure on the walls. The good news is that most bowing walls can be saved, as long as the problem is caught in time.

It's not always obvious if your basement is allowing water in, or to be sure of hydrostatic pressure against your basement walls. Yes, you might come home after a heavy rain to a flooded basement, or see actual water running down the walls. But did you know there are often less obvious signs?
