Is your retaining wall leaning, cracking, or failing? We fix structural wall issues and solve the underlying drainage problems causing them.
Why Do Retaining Walls Fail in Western Washington?
If your retaining wall is bowing, leaning, or cracking, the problem usually isn't the wall itself—it's water. In Buckley and the surrounding Pierce County areas, heavy rainfall combined with dense clay soils creates massive hydrostatic pressure behind retaining walls. If the wall wasn't built with proper drainage (like a French drain system behind it), that water has nowhere to go. It builds up, gets heavy, and literally pushes the wall over.
Signs You Need Retaining Wall Repair
- Leaning or Bowing: The wall is visibly tilting forward or bulging in the center.
- Cracking Blocks or Concrete: Structural cracks indicate the wall is under extreme stress.
- Water Pooling Behind the Wall: Soggy soil or standing water above the wall means drainage has failed.
- Separating Tiers: Multi-tiered walls that are pulling apart from each other.
