TOO MUCH WATER IN THE GROUND.

Hydrostatic pressure is a major issue with regards to bowing walls. Water in the ground pushes against your foundation until the point when the weight turns out to be excessive and the foundation walls move and buckle. As the water pressure grows, your foundation will start to crack. An excessive amount of water in the ground is caused by insufficient drainage, often due to:

Malfunctioning gutters or drains
Expansive Soil
Excessive rain
A street pipe that has burst

FORCES OF NATURE.

As the seasons change, so does the dirt. In the chilly and wet months, the soil can wind up saturated and put pressure on your foundation. In the warm and dry months, the dirt dries out and shrinks, which causes foundation settlement.

Tree roots will also crawl underground and push against your foundation, causing bowing walls.

Steady deterioration because of age and persistent exposure to these elements will wear out your foundation and cause weak spots that will gradually begin to bow.
