Cracked or bowed basement walls. What should be done before finishing the basement?

     Whether your Bucks County house is older or newer your basement walls might be cracked or bowed. The common reason behind it is soil movement and settling around the foundation which exerts pressure even on the sturdiest basement walls. While minor cracks do not threaten the integrity of the structure, they indicate drainage problem around the house. Therefore cracks are often the biggest source of the moisture problems in the basements. 
     When cracking of the walls and severity of the issue is established at our initial consultation we strongly suggest fixing the drainage problem around the perimeter of the house before repairing the cracks.This should relieve the pressure and prevent further cracking.  Otherwise the problem can reoccur. Only after the proper drainage system was designed we can proceed fixing the problem.
