A high water table means constant hydrostatic pressure. That is the hardest load a wall can carry.
Bonaire sits on the lowest ground in Houston County, and the water table comes up close to the surface through the wet season. A below-grade wall here is holding back saturated soil for months at a time, which is the most demanding condition a wall can face.
Hydrostatic pressure is relentless. It pushes on the whole buried face of the wall continuously while the water is up, and unlike surface runoff it does not drain away in a day. That steady force is what bends a block wall inward here.
Relieving the pressure comes first. Perimeter drainage lowers the water level around and under the wall, a sump with battery backup keeps it there, and the discharge carries the water well clear. Then bracing holds the wall, sized to the deflection we measure.
Here is what our bowed wall repair work includes on a Bonaire home, in town or out toward the Houston County line.
