Get any damage inspected, and we will be happy to offer a free no obligation quote for any repair we find is needed.
What Causes a Retaining Wall to Fail?
If you have a retaining wall on your property, you’ll know how important it is to keep it in good repair. However, over time, retaining walls do tend to experience damage and failure. In some cases this is simply caused by age and the damage caused by the elements, but the failure can be brought about more quickly if the wall has not been properly constructed. Incorrect design, inadequate drainage, or poor quality materials can mean your retaining wall doesn’t last as long as it otherwise might. The team at San Marcos Foundation Repair are here to help with repairs, to protect your home from any damage.
Signs of Issues On Your Retaining Wall
If your retaining wall is aging or has started to experience damage, it’s crucial to watch carefully for changes, so you know when it’s time to get professional help. If the stone or brick are crumbling, or if you can see any bending or sagging, your wall should be inspected. Excess moisture around the wall can also be a tell tale sign that things aren’t right – either a drainage issue or damage to the wall could be to blame. Get in touch, so we can assess your retaining wall for a repair.
