Bowed Wall Repair for Kathleen homeowners
On a Kathleen property there is no storm system, so all the rain that lands has to leave through the soil. A good share of it passes through the ground right beside the house, and where there is a below-grade wall it presses on it on the way past.
Sandy topsoil over clay concentrates that. Water enters easily, stops at the clay, and spreads sideways at roughly the depth a foundation wall occupies. Over years of that cycle a block wall bends inward at the middle of its span.
The advantage out here is room to work. An interception drain uphill takes the water out before it arrives, a perimeter drain handles what still gets through, and the discharge can run far enough out that it does not return. Bracing then holds the wall, sized to the measured deflection.
The scope is fixed before we start on a Kathleen home, so nothing gets added once the crew is underneath.
