Bowing Problems In Construction

This is Ben Ingham with Expert Village talking about a walk out basement. When I started back filling I was very careful with it because I knew there was a potential for that and I filled very gently a few buckets at a time and I even got off the tractor and walked it and make sure there where not cracks. Then all of sudden the straw that brought the camels back the load from the bucket I can hear a little snap and came and it was barely bow. Maybe a inch of so and so I stopped then completely and that was about a week ago now and I have not put any dirt in and it is probably about 3-4 inches so it is getting worst. I put the braces up before I did any back filling as hopefully to eliminate any that kind of bowing problem that you can from a cinder block wall.
