Bowed Wall Repair for Milledgeville homeowners
Historic Milledgeville homes with cellars often have walls of brick or field stone laid in lime mortar. Those walls were built for the loads of their day, and they behave differently from modern block under a sideways push.
Red clay on rolling ground above the Oconee is what pushes them. Runoff moves downhill toward the low side of a lot and the ground nearer the river holds moisture year round, so a cellar wall on the low side is loaded for much of the year.
Stabilizing historic masonry calls for judgement. Rigid modern bracing bolted into soft old material can do more harm than the movement it is stopping, so we assess the wall, the mortar and the load before proposing anything, and favour approaches that spread the force across the wall.
Every Milledgeville 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
- Carbon fiber and bracing options
- Protects your home's structural integrity
