Bowed Wall Repair for Hardwick homeowners
The clays around Hardwick include some of the heavy, sticky material that gives this part of Georgia its kaolin reputation. When that soil soaks up rain it swells, and in a dry spell it shrinks back. A buried block wall takes that push and pull season after season.
Eventually the wall gives. A horizontal crack runs along a mortar joint about midway up, the block above it leans inward, and stair-step cracks spread toward the corners. You may notice a wall that looks bellied when you sight down it, or a gap where it meets the floor joists.
We measure the bow and decide on the right fix. Wall anchors run through the wall to plates buried in stable soil outside, or steel I-beam braces go from the floor to the framing above. Both stop further movement and can pull the wall back over time. Hardwick inspections are free, with photos and a written price.
Every Hardwick home gets the same bowed wall repair scope, and the written price says exactly what that covers.
- Stabilizes and reinforces bowing walls
- Stops further movement
