Bowed Wall Repair for Clinchfield homeowners
Mill-era construction in Clinchfield was built economically, which usually means block walls with minimal reinforcement on shallow footings. Those walls carry what they were designed for and they have very little margin against a load from the side.
The soil is sandy clay that takes water in and holds it, so the ground beside a buried wall stays saturated for long stretches. That steady lateral load is what bends a lightly reinforced block wall inward over the years.
We measure the deflection and check for reinforcement before quoting, because both change the design. Carbon fiber suits smaller movement and steel handles more, and drainage takes the water pressure out so the bracing is holding a wall that is no longer being pushed.
Here is what our bowed wall repair work includes on a Clinchfield home, in town or out toward the Houston County line.
- Stabilizes and reinforces bowing walls
- Stops further movement
- Carbon fiber and bracing options
- Protects your home's structural integrity
