"How can this be fixed?"

Would you like details like equipment and tools required along with how they are used,man hours required and material list or would a simple wag suffice for the moment?

Could I have a little of both? I was also thinking of putting some kind of drain next to the house so water will keep away from the house.

Ok,to be certain it's done right,we will need to line up a hoe,not to be confused with a ho (John Deere 310L or 310sL will do) and a soil engineer to assess soil stability and what is buried within 10' of foundation. I once began a similar project without that bit of info and the foreman called to say "the fit just hit the shan"or something to that effect when the building collapsed. What role would you like me to play,GC,job foreman or techinacal advisor?

My basement floor is pure mud. Thick, brown mud. Consistency of peanut butter. it has been flooded before.

I wouldn't want to mess around with this, it could be serious. call around and get some assessments by basement/foundation type people.

our basement wall is cracking, and one of the theories is that we might have an old decommissioned sewer line under the foundation, possibly collapsing. maybe something like that is happening to you?

How long has this problem been apparent? When did you purchase the house? Did the person who renovated the house disclose this issue or the parking?

This is going to be an expensive fix. You will need engineering expertise and soon.

"This is going to be an expensive fix. You will need engineering expertise and soon."'

And a hoe,not to be conf,,,,,

On taking another look, you need to get that whole foundation inspected. The back wall looks to have cracks or displaced cinder block too traveling down the wall which can be a sign that it is also not stable.

Highlighted a couple of areas as examples.

This may be a larger problem than just parking. Got to get a structural engineer and a soils person out there. It is not a DIY job at all.

"My basement floor is pure mud. Thick, brown mud. Consistency of peanut butter. it has been flooded before."

Probably helping to undermine the wall footings. I would definitely get the whole thing inspected and assessed for stability before you have more issues.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to find a drive-through solution on houzz. IDK if drive up customers are bringing in more preplexing problems or in-houzz experts have lost their touch. Why I recall when houzzers helped people that had never picked up a hammer knock out walls and totally reno their homes. Had Sweetbullets not mentioned peanut butter in the basement,there's a good chance he would have heard several simple solutions. Considering how insignificant it is I'm suprised he didn't wait longer than his secound post to mention it.

The wall was most likely pushed in during backfill or a concrete truck came too close to a new foundation when pouring the basement floor, etc and this is the reason why the wall was cut and reinforced with rebar and it was grouted solid.

Have an engineer evaluate the current condition and see if the foundation is structurally sound.

Mud on the floor is a pretty strong indicator there's a water/drainage issue. Sadly foundation work can be costly and usually well beyond the typical DIYer's abilities.

Im scheduled to have a foundation repair company look at my house on the 19th.

>>Apparently the wall is reinforced with concrete and metal bars but I don’t understand how it can still bow like this?

Did you think it was going to spring back after the guy stopped parking on it?

Or has it bowed even farther?

We don't know where you are or what your soil looks like, but there are plenty of reasons why it could keep bowing after it started, despite the apparent 'repairs'.

klem is dripping with sarcasm in case anyone needed to know that. LOL

It doesnt seem to have moved anymore. I have an estimate on the 19th, 30th, and 31st. One guy wants to use helical tiebacks. According to him, wall anchors arent a good fit for here. I’m in eastern kentucky.

Good luck and let us know how this turns out!

Contractor wants to put 9 i beams along the wall to stabilize it. Plus an inside drain system. Installing an outside drain on the bottom of the wall wouldn’t work because of the level of the creek behind the house.

Wall anchors that attach to a plate out in the yard won’t work unless you know the carrying capacity of the soil. Helical tie backs won’t work because if, when they are being drilled in, you hit a rock they won’t work properly.

I never thought about I-beams and I never thought about the level of the creek affecting a footer drain. If it floods, water will come back up in the drain.

Sounds like a complicated problem, but at least one contractor seems to have multiple choices of methods so there is always something that works.
