Retaining Wall Repair

A retaining wall that leans or bulges is telling you the soil is pushing harder than the wall can hold. The usual causes are water trapped behind the wall, a missing or failed base and walls built too thin for their height. We find the cause and fix it, not just the symptom.

Repairs include rebuilding the failed section, installing drains and clean gravel backfill, adding geogrid or tiebacks and replacing caps and damaged units. In Nashville, clay soil holds water and pushes hard on walls, and drainage upgrades are almost always part of a lasting repair. Taller walls may call for engineering, and we help you decide.

FAQ

Common questions about retaining wall repair

Can a leaning wall be pushed back?

Usually it is taken down and rebuilt, because pushing it back can fail again. We explain the options.

Why is there water coming through my wall?

Water is either blocked behind it or has no way to drain. Drainage behind the wall is the fix.

Do I need engineering for a repair?

Taller walls and walls near structures may. We tell you when it is wise.
