That “looks straight” wall can still bow later—because the real work happens before the pour.
Homeowners don’t always think about these three:
- Rebar placement (strength and cracking control)
- Form alignment (lines, plumb, and long-term stability)
- Base prep + grading (drainage paths, not puddles)
With block walls, small setbacks in alignment and drainage can show up as gaps, water seepage, and freeze/thaw cracking. With poured concrete, the same misses can create stress points that lead to surface cracking or bowing.
