Great info, ya lost me at 10k. I know gas meat and toast are through the roof right now. But you can't tell me a square galvanized. Plate measuring 10x10 cost $900. Again super useful information.I guess I just need to find the D.I.Y. video

[@Therealsealllc]

Hi There! The repairs are, to be sure, more than just the cost of a plate. There is extensive labor involved, and depending on the solution you need skilled expertise to do it correctly. We've had to fix a lot of DIY repairs. So be sure you get all your info together before attempting to do it yourself. It certainly is possible to DIY, but I think you'll see just how much work it is when you hit shovel to dirt.

Thanks for the transparent information, huge help.

[@Therealsealllc]

Happy to help!

Have you seen this happen to an interior wall in a split level house? I'm guessing more expensive to fix vs bowing wall in a basement?

[@Therealsealllc]

Great question! If the interior wall you are referring to is the wall between the lower level of your basement and the higher split level, then it is possible for that to bow. It is uncommon, to be clear, because the forces are not as strong under the raised portion of your home. We'd love to come take a look at it if you're in the Chicagoland area. If not, maybe we can direct you towards a good company!

[@daniellebuie8098]

@Therealsealllc thanks so much! It's my parents' home in Northeast Ohio (Akron/Canton/Cleveland area). It's a load-bearing interior wall on the ground floor with sudden bowing of at least a few inches, very concerning. If there's a company you know and respect in their area, I'll pass that along to them.

@@daniellebuie8098 Try Jake at Summit Basement Company in Akron. Good company with a solid reputation.

It's kinda like the way your stomach is bowing. I get it now... 😂.. ( I'm joking bro I just happened to notice 🤣🤣

[@Therealsealllc]

Hahaha we do describe it that way!

[@love4lust7301]

Huum I'm thinking maybe I could use that ballpark figure for a down payment on another house with a better foundation 🤔🤔

[@Therealsealllc]

Depending on your situation, that may be the best route. We pride ourselves on being transparent and up front about all costs and options so the homeowner can make an informed decision, without someone holding a pen in front of their nose.

[@2shay74]

what if you have a poured concrete basement wall that is bowing outward, but not the whole wall only the top of it? There is 3" difference from the top of my basement wall to the bottom of it. It is bowing outward, causing the slate siding to actually bend. I see you are in the Chicago area, do you have any recommendations for the St. Louis Mo area?

[@wanderingsouls4603]

Hi @taniat3412 did you find anyone?

[@Therealsealllc]

Hi @taniat3412! So at 3" you are still able to support the wall with Carbon Fiber. However, if it is not addressed immediately and gets beyond 3", you will need to push the wall back. I recommend getting a qualified contractor out there asap to address the issue. We unfortunately do not have any recommendations in the STL area. I would recommend you going to Yelp, Angie's, BBB, and Google, read the reviews, and choose the most consistently reputable and responsive company.

[@2shay74]

@@Therealsealllc Thank you. I got a quote for a company that wants to install 7 steel piers on the back and left side. total cost 12,500 does that seem reasonable? the length of that section to be repaired is 12' of wall 8' high.

[@Therealsealllc]

@@2shay74 That seems like a lot of piers for a 12' section. But you may need to stabilize further than the 3" side that is tipping outward. As far as the price, that's a good price for steel piers. Be sure you get at least 2 other quotes so you have a good idea of the exact fix you need and get a decent company.

[@2shay74]

@@Therealsealllc Thank you and I did get a guy to come out, it isn't even my basement wall, my sill is completely rotted and all the wood behind my siding is pushing my siding outward making it look like my wall did it. After I fix all this mess I am still going to monitor my wall with measuring just to be sure. Thank you again
