The Urgency of Repairing Damaged Basement Walls Southwest Marietta, GA

Basement walls are crucial to the structural integrity of your home. Whether they are constructed from pre-cast concrete, masonry blocks, or part of a post-tension slab system, these walls bear significant weight and provide essential support. When problems arise, such as bowing, cracking, or sagging, it is critical to address them quickly to avoid severe structural damage. At Anglin’s Foundation & Masonry Repairs in Atlanta, GA, we bring over 90 years of experience to every basement wall repair, ensuring homeowners get proven solutions backed by a lifetime warranty.

Signs of Damaged Basement Walls

Several warning signs indicate that your basement walls may be compromised and in need of urgent repair:

  • Bowing Walls: Walls may bow inward or outward due to hydrostatic pressure, which occurs when groundwater exerts excessive force against the foundation. Over time, this pressure can weaken the wall’s structural integrity.
  • Cracks in Walls: Vertical, horizontal, or diagonal cracks in basement walls can signal shifting or settling of the foundation. These cracks may worsen if not repaired, leading to further damage to interior walls, exterior brick, or stone facades.
  • Drooping or Sagging Openings: Openings for basement windows, doors, or garage doors may sag or become misaligned. This can indicate that the foundation is shifting under uneven pressure.

When basement walls exhibit these signs, immediate action is necessary to prevent further structural damage. Left unchecked, compromised basement walls can exert pressure on the wood framing, causing cracks in your interior drywall and exterior masonry, which can lead to costly repairs.

Why Timely Repairs Are Essential

Failure to promptly repair basement wall issues can have far-reaching consequences for your home’s safety and value. According to structural engineering studies, foundation problems can reduce property values by up to 15%, more if structural damage occurs. Additionally, delaying repairs can increase the likelihood of other issues, such as:

  • Water intrusion leading to mold and mildew
  • Foundation settlement causing uneven floors
  • Further cracking and structural instability

Ignoring these problems can create hazardous living conditions and significantly increase repair costs. Early intervention through professional basement wall repair can prevent these complications and protect your investment.

Tammy S.

From start to finish, everyone at Anglin's was amazing! Gus was responsive, always answered his phone, knowledgeable, professional, honest and fair. He went above and beyond to make a stressful situation less stressful. Scheduling was a breeze and the crew that arrived on the job (on time, I might add) were courteous, respectful and efficient. They allowed me to watch and take pictures, and explained the process step-by-step, as well as what results were to be expected. Iggy was so knowledgeable, professional and amazing. He was able to pin point a problem that 2 other competing companies couldn't explain or relay in layman's terms what needed to be done and why. He was an absolute superstar in easing the mind of the buyers purchasing the house. His 27 years experience was so valuable. Shelly was quick to send paid invoices and warranty information. Everyone did an amazing job and I would recommend them highly.

Penelope Greensmith

I cannot say enough good things about GUS at Anglin’s Foundation and Masonry! GUS, was fast and gave a free estimate on raising, reattaching and fixing my brick stairs. I will be sure to post before and after photos! Thank you GUS for your no nonsense, straight forward approach! Thank you for listening to me! The Greensmith’s

Regina Renee Kalasz

Today was a install of a 2nd beam for our house... first one was easy, 2nd one gave them a run for their money. But they stuck it out and got it done! Awesome work! I'd throw a + behind my 5 stars if I could. Sorry I held your crew up, but they were determined to get it done with no issues. So shout out to your team Chris, Leo and Dan!

Scott Lapin

The team that lifted our chimney was prompt, courteous and efficient. Other then the repair, you simply could not tell they were even there despite the fact they had to remove part of our deck to do the work. I would HIGHLY recommend them.

Melissa Reed

Diagnosis and estimate from a picture, arrived as scheduled, done in just a couple hours and results were absolutely amazing. Price, workmanship, clean up - everything was absolutely 5 star!! Highly recommend these folks!!! I must add, 2 other well known and much advertised companies came out and estimated 6x the work and price, claiming we had more issues than what was actually going on. These guys call it like it is - honesty and integrity are hard to find in construction.

Dana Brennan

This crew is top notch. Worked with the office and mainly with Gus on site who was great. Showed up early, super knowledgeable, tons of experience. We really felt served in the way he recommended only what needed to be done and at a great price. Had another company wanting to add in other extras and unnecessary work. HIGHLY recommend Anglin!!

Aaron Gray

Quick to call back and totally honest. I wasn't sure if I had a foundation issue or a flooring issue but after a few questions, Nathan helped to figure out that it thankfully wasn't a foundation issue. Insteand of trying to sell me a job, Nathan helped me to make a good decision. I hope I never have foundation issues but if I do, this is the company I'm hiring.

Jake Herman

Another masonry contractor referred us to Anglin because we had a concern about the structural integrity of our chimneys. We were told that they were the best people to talk to. I called them and they actually came by to assess my house within two hours. Although I was fully prepared to spend a lot of money to stabilize my chimneys, he did a full assessment and very honestly told me that my chimneys were fine and just needed some caulking where the mortar met the brick. I greatly respect his expertise and honesty and would recommend him without reservation.
