Retaining Wall Repair

What This Service Involves

A retaining wall that is tilting, bulging, or shedding material is warning you of a drainage or structural problem, and our wet climate accelerates that failure. We investigate the root cause, often clogged drainage, saturated backfill, or an undersized original design, and repair or rebuild accordingly. Solutions range from restoring drainage and adding tiebacks to rebuilding failed sections properly. Addressing it early is far less costly than waiting for a collapse that takes out the yard above. All repairs meet current code and are backed by our L&I license.

Benefits

Stops a failing wall before it collapses; Corrects the underlying drainage or design cause; Protects the yard, structures, and grade above; Often less costly than a full rebuild if caught early; Restores safety and appearance

Our Process

1) Inspect the wall and diagnose the cause of failure; 2) Relieve pressure and excavate the affected section; 3) Restore or add drainage, tiebacks, or reinforcement; 4) Rebuild or realign the wall and backfill correctly

What Affects the Cost

Severity and extent of the failure; Cause, whether drainage, soil, or structural; Wall material and overall height; Access for excavation and equipment; Amount of rebuilding versus stabilization needed

Best Time of Year

Repairs are best tackled in drier weather, but active or dangerous failures should be addressed promptly regardless of season.
