Review the Completed Work

We verify that the finished retaining wall construction meets applicable project requirements and code compliance.

Serving Every Corner of Queens

Queens covers more ground than any other borough and the stock shifts as you cross it. Astoria runs to dense pre-war brick, Bayside to detached homes. On the Rockaways, salt air and flood exposure make waterproofing matter more than anywhere else in the city.

 

Common Retaining Wall Damages Found in Queens Properties

A retaining wall may show visible changes before the affected areas are evaluated. Property owners should take prompt action if they notice the following signs of movement in their retaining walls:

  • Leaning Wall: 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.
