What causes cracked & bowing foundation walls CONT.

What NOT to do

Total foundation replacement:

To undertake a job like this, you have to excavate the entire perimeter of your foundation -- including gardens, shrubbery, sidewalks, and other landscaping.

Next, the house is jacked up, and the floor slab and foundation walls are removed. Finally, the foundation is rebuilt, the house is repositioned and the soil is replaced.

This solution is extremely disruptive, expensive, and time consuming. What's worse, it's not really addressing the issue that caused the damage in the first place!

Your foundation isn't the problem -- the soil is! When you're done building that brand new foundation, you can count on the soil to press just as hard on the new walls. This will cause them to be damaged -- just like it did to the ones that preceded them.

If you're going to invest money in repairing your foundation, choose the solution that is not disruptive and will be warrantied for 25 years.
