Bowling Green, Missouri Home
Here is an outside look of the Bowling Green, Missouri home. Even from the outside of the home you can visualize how what seemed to be a small water issue, transcended into much more.

Bowling of the Basement Walls
If you focus in on the basement wall, you can see how the wall curves. This curve is referred to as bowing. Bowing is the result of pressure that is exerted on the wall.

Another Angle of the Home
On the opposite side of the home, you can see the same type of bowing. This time, you can also see cracking close to the gutter downspout.

Bowing & Cracking
Once inside the home, the basement reveals even more cracking and bowing. This wall holds severe cracking, which allows water an entrance into the space.

Another Wall in the Basement
This wall contains a significant amount of bowing that is revealed by the deep crack. Not only is this a structural issue, but this allows water to enter the basement. This leaves the area highly susceptible to mold growth.

More Bowing
Here is yet another prime example of bowing in this basement. The soil surrounding the basement had retained a significant amount of water, which in return put pressure on these walls.

Stair-Stepping Crack
This stair-stepping crack is visually one of the biggest red flags that a structural issue has developed. Thankfully, because this homeowner called Team Woods, our foreman, Greg H., made sure that no water will be entering through these deep cracks again.
