Bowed Wall Repair for Lizella homeowners
The kaolin and red clay west of Macon exerts more lateral pressure than any other soil in the area. When it takes on water it expands, and expansion against a buried wall is a force you can measure.
That is why a bowing wall on a Lizella property tends to progress faster than one on sandy ground. Every wet season adds movement, the dry season pulls the soil back and opens a gap that lets the next rain straight down to the wall, and the cycle repeats.
The repair addresses the force as well as the wall. Bracing holds the deflection, sized from what we measure. Drainage and grading even out the moisture in the clay so it stops swelling as hard, and roof water gets piped well away since clay holds every gallon that lands near the house.
The scope is fixed before we start on a Lizella home, so nothing gets added once the crew is underneath.
