Bowing Wall Repair in Indianapolis and Central Indiana
From the weight of the house to shifting soil conditions & hydrostatic pressure, the foundation of your home continually deals with pressure from all sides. When outside pressures become too much for the foundation, your home will respond with a variety of problems that include bowing walls in the basement. Americrawl specializes in foundation repair services that include bowing wall reinforcement and more for our customers in Indianapolis, Lafayette, Bloomington, and other cities throughout our service area in Central Indiana & throughout the Midwest.
Basement walls will usually begin to bow before you can see any cracks. This bowing is sometimes difficult to see, but any bowing at all is an indication of a weakened structure. Bowing of basement walls should be addressed before it becomes irreparable. We also assist customers with leaning walls, shearing walls, and wall anchors.

Trust ECP® Wall Anchors | Indianapolis & Central Indiana
The ECP® Wall Anchor System was developed by the innovative design team of Earth Contact Products in conjunction with engineers and tradesmen who became frustrated with the flaws and weaknesses of other wall anchor systems and repair methods. ECP® Anchor Systems utilize proven engineered methods to secure and stabilize basement walls experiencing horizontal deflection, or "bow in." Other methods such as carbon fiber, pilasters, and I-beams do not provide any appreciable lateral resistance to soil pressures.
When you are ready to upgrade to an ECP® Wall Anchor System, our crews at Americrawl can help. Call 463-218-6767 to learn more or click here to schedule an appointment ASAP with a service technician.
