When to Call Us for Help
Signs of trouble could include rotting wood, crumbling sections or cracks. Often, these issues are the result of improper drainage around the retaining wall foundation. When the soil around retaining walls is saturated, it can expand, causing even the strongest wall to weaken and eventually give way.
Some other signs that you may need the help of experienced concrete retaining wall contractors include:
- Walls that are tilting
- Walls that seem to be buckling or moving
- Separation between the retaining wall and adjoining walls
