Why Hydrostatic Pressure Is Bad News for Your Foundation (And What to Do About It)

Hydrostatic pressure is a powerful force that can wreak havoc on a foundation wall if left unchecked. This pressure occurs when water accumulates in the soil around your foundation, exerting immense force against the walls. Over time, this constant pressure can lead to cracks, bowing, and even structural failure.

If you notice signs like horizontal cracks, bulging walls, or water seepage, it’s crucial to act quickly. Ignoring these issues can lead to costly repairs and compromise the safety of your home.
