Common Causes of Retaining Wall Construction in Manhattan
A retaining wall can look perfect from the outside, requiring careful planning underneath. If you already have a retaining wall, changes in its appearance indicate that there is something wrong with the construction and it needs attention.
- Bulging Sections: Parts of the wall push outward, indicating structural movement.
- Separating Joints: Gaps develop between masonry units as the wall shifts.
- Displaced Masonry: Bricks move out of their alignment, reducing the wall’s stability.
- Soil Appearing Through Openings: Soil coming through gaps can indicate pressure or inadequate support behind the wall.
- Water Repeatedly Collecting Behind the Wall: Persistent water buildup can increase pressure on the wall and contribute to deterioration.
If these conditions are present, another layer on top of the existing problem may not solve it.
