Key Features
This bowing basement wall diagram includes:

- Water force of 1,150 lb per foot below the water table
- Water table line on the outside of the wall
- First floor framing resting on top of the wall
- Footing and basement slab at the base
The wall bows most in the middle, between the floor framing at the top and the slab at the bottom, which makes this diagram a good base for marking where anchors or braces would go.

What Causes a Bowing Basement Wall?
Soil and groundwater push on the outside of a basement wall, and when that pressure builds, the wall bends inward between the floor above and the slab below. With ArcSite, you can draw your repair, whether wall anchors, braces, or carbon fiber, right onto this diagram so the homeowner sees the problem and the fix together.
