Getting Creative: Measuring a Bowing Wall with KitKat Bars

At Groundhogs™️, we always find ways to make even the toughest foundation problems relatable to our customers. Recently, one of our crews was inspecting a foundation wall that had noticeably bowed. To show just how much it was out of level, our team held up a level and used exactly *three KitKat bars* to demonstrate the gap over six feet! While our measurement method added a bit of humor, the issue was no joke. A bowing wall is a serious sign that the foundation is under significant stress and needs immediate stabilization. Our team installed a system to stop further movement and restore the wall's stability. At Groundhogs™️, we believe in keeping things light while delivering serious results. If you've noticed a bowing or leaning wall in your home, give us a call for a professional inspection-before it takes more than a few KitKats to measure the problem!
