Hiding the embarrassing crack in your basement wall with a picture has backfired on you. Now the bottom half of the frame seems to be dangling in thin air. Wait—is that wall actually bowing? You have a serious problem on your hands.
Homes built in clay rich soil (as Ohio is known for) are prone to problems from hydrostatic pressure: when the ground becomes extra heavy from rain and melting snow, placing excessive pressure on your foundation. If not properly mitigated, this can jeopardize the structural integrity of the foundation, perhaps even causing it to collapse. Cracks are also likely to let unwanted moisture into your basement, leading to a host of additional issues.
If you spot any of the following warning signs, it is time to seek immediate professional assistance
Leaning basement walls
Interior or exterior foundation cracks
Water intrusion from damaged areas
