Retaining walls play a crucial role in property stability, particularly on sloped blocks. An unstable retaining wall poses serious safety risks, potentially leading to structural damage, property loss, or personal injury. Our thorough inspection helps identify potential issues before they become hazardous.
For retaining walls over one meter in height, specific engineering requirements must be met, particularly when near neighboring properties. These walls require proper design and construction by qualified professionals to ensure long-term stability and safety.
High moisture levels behind retaining walls can attract termites and other pests, creating potential pathways to your home. Our inspectors pay special attention to drainage systems and moisture control measures that help prevent both structural issues and pest problems.
Remember that a failing retaining wall rarely collapses without warning signs. Regular professional inspection can identify early indicators of instability, allowing for timely intervention and repair. Our Building and Pest Inspection Report provides detailed insights into your retaining wall's condition and recommendations for any necessary maintenance or engineering assessment.
