Structure basement wall bowling issue

[Luis Montanez]

Got in the house today and the biggest problem is a basement wall crack which looks like a serious problem.

Have not done a house with this type of problems so not sure how much $$$ we are taking about.

My plan is to use carbon fiber cloths with epoxy.

Option 2 is to use anchors

This retaining basement wall is about 480 sq ft (60ft long by 8ft tall). This house is in East Cobb Marietta Georgia

I have done two projects with similar bowing.  

In both scenarios we had a structural engineer come out to the property and provide a structural evaluation and recommendation for repairs.

The engineer's first recommendation will always be to fix the issue that is causing the bowing, which as J suggested is likely water pressure.

Evaluate the properties drainage and gutters and ensure the water is sloping away from the property.  I'm not sure about the soil conditions in your area, but the soil type could also be an issue.

For the structural repair itself, the engineer recommended a few different options: 

1. 1. Vertical steel I-beams tied into the floor joists every 6 ft
2. 2. Tie-Backs - Steel plates/anchors with tiebacks to a concrete footing or 'dead man' (similar to your option 2).

We ended up installing the vertical steel I-beams 6ft oc, which are about $700 to $1000 each.
