Rotating Failed Retaining Walls - Foundation Repair Tip Of The Day #82

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vchAO1EYkQ4 Happy Monday! We're back after the long weekend with more on repairing retaining walls! In today's #FoundationRepair #TipOfTheDay Brian discusses how our team can rotate failed retaining walls back into position. Our team will typically excavate behind the retaining wall to make room for the retaining wall to move back into its original position. Next our team will install helical piers vertically next to the retaining wall's footing, and lift the front of the footing. Each situation is going to be different, but it's usually a pretty fast and effective method to repair a retaining wall and prevent a homeowner from having to completely replace it. ------------------------------------ Dalinghaus Construction proudly services customers in San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles, and Riverside counties.  If you think your home may be suffering from foundation settlement, visit our website www.dalinghausconstruction.com,  call us today at

Designs of Retaining Walls - Foundation Repair Tip Of The Day #78

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4XfUWCgTDw Did you see yesterday's episode about the functions of retaining walls? In today's #FoundationRepair #TipOfTheDay Brian discusses the designs of retaining walls along with some important factors that go into making a retaining wall that won't need to be repaired a few years down the road. The height is one of the most important... You don't want it too high on the slope because it won't have the ability to retain much soil, and you don't want it too low on the slope because the soils will go right over the retaining wall. The correct height would be right at the toe of the slope in order to maximize the wall's retaining abilities! ------------------------------------ Dalinghaus Construction proudly services customers in San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles, and Riverside counties.  If you think your home may be suffering from foundation settlement, visit our website www.dalinghausconstruction.com,  call us today at 877-3
