We prescribe investigating your divider at any rate once every year to ensure that it isn’t beginning to come up short. A spring review will permit you to decide whether your divider is equipped for withstanding snow melt and spring rainstorms. You should hope to check whether any of the squares or other divider materials is standing out. Do you see a great deal of dregs at the base of the divider? Assuming this is the case, you may have a seepage issue. A yearly investigation will help keep any issues minor.

At the point when you do have a disappointment in your holding dividers, there are a couple of approaches that may permit you to abstain from unearthing the divider.

1. Regrade the area maintained by the wall to redirect water flow away from the wall. This will reduce some of the water pressure that may be building up behind the wall.
2. Drill additional weep holes into the wall to allow for increased surface drainage.
3. Reduce the height of the retained material by regrading. Sometimes changing the landscape design is an acceptable method to an allowable limit based on the wall design.
4. Transfer some of the shear force at the location where the wall connects with the ground. This increases the overall strength of the wall. There are two methods:
5. Extending the footing at the base; or,
6. Placing concrete to thicken the base.

If your wall failure is too great to be fixed by one of the methods above, you may need to excavate. How much will depend on the extent of the failure. Inserting tiebacks will secure the wall and add additional support. However, this will require additional planning and could require extensive excavation to secure the tiebacks in the correct location. Tiebacks add strength to retaining walls. Adding a gravel bed behind and beneath the wall or perforated drain tiles lining the base of the wall can substantially improve drainage. This reduces trapped water and freezing behind the wall that can exert pressure, causing failure.

The best way to prevent a retaining wall failure is to design the wall for the site conditions, taking into account the terrain, climate, and soil properties, so that the wall will be able to perform its function safely. Rebuilding and correcting the failures is always an option. But it may be costly and require excavation. Typically, the wall can be salvaged and starting over rarely occurs. When rebuilt or fortified, and designed correctly, retaining walls can have a long life span for improving the aesthetic appeal and functionality on your site.
