What You Need to Know About Retaining Walls
Retaining walls are often installed on properties with layered terrain or sloped ground. Over time, these walls may begin to crack, lean, bow, or break down entirely, resulting in a crumbling retaining wall. Because retaining walls are not part of a complete structural system, they endure immense soil pressure, which can lead to a retaining wall collapsing. Like any form of structural failure, this issue typically worsens with time. If a collapsing retaining wall gives way, it can release large volumes of soil or water, causing serious property damage.

Signs You May Have a Collapsing Retaining Wall
- Spreading or widening cracks
- Surface damage such as flaking, staining, or warping
- Crumbling retaining wall sections
- Noticeable leaning or bowing
- Gaps or separation from nearby walls or structures
- Water seeping through the wall
- Vegetation or tree roots pushing through the wall
Each of these signs may seem minor alone, but together they could indicate a failing retaining wall in need of repair.
How to Fix a Collapsing Retaining Wall
Helical tiebacks are a proven method for stabilizing a failing retaining wall. These anchors apply equal and opposite force to counteract the soil pressure pushing against the wall. In some cases, additional drainage systems or partial wall replacement may be necessary to fully fix the retaining wall.
