Inspect & Diagnose Failing Retaining Walls

of them, something like that. So let's get bidding house and hauling that away. This is the window well we rebuild. We rebuilt that window well. And this is one of the walls that we've got to remove and replace. At first inspection, it looks okay. Okay. But when you start to look closer at this wall, this wall wasn't built that long ago. This wall was built probably less than 10 years ago. Look at how it's all separated. So, what's what's happening is the soil is pushing down behind this wall. And as it's pushing the wall out, it's starting to separate the wall like this. Okay. [Music] Okay. So, we've got this crack running down. The crack didn't bother me. I seen the crack. I've been watching this one. But what I just noticed was the separation at the bottom. This is what really we've got to keep an eye on. So right here we've got the footing stationary and the rest of this uh well it's basically a concrete masonry unit wallow well wall has pushed over the face. Um you can actually see the outline of the concrete masonry units underneath the stuckle. So boom boom. So this was stuckco I don't know probably 5 10 years ago or so actually maybe older. Well probably 12 12. Okay that's probably how old. So, this one gets replaced, rebuilt with uh Verselock standard units. All right. I love it. I said, "This is the problem." And Harlon looked at this wall and he looked at the back of the block and he goes, "Oh my." He looked right here. That actually isn't the problem, though. The problem is, Haron, if we look underneath this retaining wall, and you got to scooch down a little bit under this wall, can you see where the wall is starting to tip forward? This one right here. Yes. You can actually see. Oh, right. Yes. Right there. Yes. So, if we go down here, let's go here. So, the wall is strong off the foundation. And as it comes into this area, the wall is starting to lean forward. We're going to go right there, Haron. Go where you're at. And then look down it like you're sighting the a rifle in. Right here. Exactly. He pointed it out. It's how fast you can learn these retaining walls right down here. Just it's coming in. When you sight down this side as well, Harlon, you can see it starts right after the curve. Right in that curve, it starts to tip forward. I'm with Bert.
