Retaining Wall Problem Checker: What Is Wrong?

Pick what you see on your wall to get likely causes, what to try first and the service page that fits.

These tools give planning-level estimates from typical values and the details you enter. They are not quotes or engineering, legal or safety advice, and results depend on your actual slope, soil, water, materials and choices. Taller and loaded walls often need engineered design and permits, and local rules decide. Only a conversation and a site visit can confirm what a project needs, and we give you a written estimate before work begins.

How it works

Four quick steps.

  1. 01

    Pick the area

    Leaning or movement, cracks, water, slope and soil, looks, or planning a new wall.

  2. 02

    Tick what you notice

    Check every sign that applies.

  3. 03

    See the priority

    Try a quick fix, plan a visit, plan a repair or check safety first.

  4. 04

    Open the service page

    Each cause links to the service that fits.

Tips

  • Take dated photos from the same spot and mark the ends of cracks with a pencil.
  • Keep people and vehicles away from any wall that looks unstable.
  • Redirect downspouts and keep outlets clear while you wait for help.
Questions

About this tool.

Does this replace an inspection?

No. It is a checklist. A visit finds the real cause.

What counts as urgent?

Fast movement, a sudden bulge, soil falling out or a slide. Keep clear and call for help.

Can several causes look the same?

Yes, which is why we look at the wall, the drainage and the soil together.
