A retaining wall that starts to lean or weep is not just a cosmetic issue. In North Jersey freeze-thaw cycles, small gaps open fast. Catching the signs early is cheaper than rebuilding the whole face.
What to look for
Look for a bulge in the middle of the wall, gaps between blocks, or soil washing out at the footer. After a heavy rain, puddles that sit against the wall mean drainage is blocked.
When to call
If the wall has moved more than an inch, or a cap stone has shifted, stop adding soil above it. USA Construction NJ rebuilds and repairs retaining walls across North and Central New Jersey, including drainage behind the wall so the repair lasts.
