Types of Retaining Walls We Repair
- Concrete Block Walls: Known for durability, these walls may develop cracks or shifting due to frost heave or soil pressure.
- Cinder Block Walls: Lightweight yet sturdy, cinder blocks can crack or bulge, requiring expert realignment or reinforcement.
- Wood & Timber Walls: Popular for their natural appeal, these walls are prone to rot, insect damage, or warping over time.

Note: We specialize in the above types but do not service poured concrete walls.
