Questions about this job
Something else on your mind? Ask us in the quote form.
Why do retaining walls lean?
Missing drainage is the usual culprit. Water builds up behind the wall and pushes it over. This rebuild put drainage fabric and pipe behind the new wall.
Can you rebuild a wall instead of patching it?
Yes. When a wall leans, we pull it out and rebuild it on a proper base, which lasts longer than patching.
Do you work at Lake Cherokee?
Yes. Lake Cherokee is part of our regular service area out of Longview.
