Bowed Wall Repair for Elko homeowners
Below-grade walls are uncommon in south Houston County, and where they exist they sit above a water table that comes close to the surface. Sandy soil does not swell, and saturated sand still exerts real pressure on a buried wall.
On older Elko properties the walls are usually block, often laid without much reinforcement, on shallow footings. That combination has little reserve against a lateral load, so movement can start earlier than it would on a modern wall.
The work is measurement, bracing and drainage. We measure the deflection to size the repair, install carbon fiber or steel from inside, and put a drain below the wall footing to lower the water level. On rural acreage the discharge has plenty of room to run clear of the house.
Elko homeowners get the same scope every time, priced in writing before a crew books the date.
