Re: Retaining Wall Badly Damaged. 30Sep 27, 2021 5:20 am daniel81991 Update: I met up with the builder a few days ago. It's basically going round in circles Builder: Your problem, there are no footings in the existing wall. It's in the specification that there may be repairs if the wall is damaged. Me: Why didn't you survey before doing the works to the wall then? You can clearly see if there is no footings prior to starting. If someone broken a limb would it be your fault? Builder: Yes...but it could've happened at anytime thus we believe it's still your problem. Me: But it happened during tinkering with the wall, it may have been unlucky but you can clearly see the issues with the wall. Can anyone give me advise? I got a feeling this will be a cascading effect. i.e if I replace part of the wall, the entire wall will need to be replaced... Daniel Honestly, as per my earlier post and advice given by other posters, it's clear that you need to replace that entire "retaining wall", there is going to be no way around this unfortunately. It was never built correctly in the beginning. You are just going to have to bite the bullet and do it properly this time. cheers Simeon Architectural Homes & Duplexes - specialising in custom designing homes to your budget Get a Free Onsite Consultation Today or send a PM for information, questions or advice.
