Q: Do you need a permit for a retaining wall?

• <div><p>Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.</p></div>

Q: What is the total cost for demolishing and rebuilding a retaining wall?

• <div><p>Depending on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-to-hire-retaining-wall.htm">who you hire to build a retaining wall</a>, the average cost, including demolition and reconstruction, for a 50-foot wall that's 4 feet in height is between <b>$7,000 and $24,000</b>.</p></div>

Q: Why do retaining walls lean?

• <div><p>Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.</p></div>

Q: How long does wall installation take?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the wall&rsquo;s size and site conditions.</p></div>

Q: What is the best material to fill behind a retaining wall?

• <div><p>Sand and gravel are two suitable options for filling behind a retaining wall. If you&rsquo;re building your own retaining wall, you&rsquo;ll complete this part of the process&mdash;known as backfilling&mdash;after you finish laying the blocks. Make sure not to skip it&mdash;otherwise, you could wind up with drainage issues, which can cause your retaining wall to collapse.</p></div>

Repaired my leaking main Second floor bathroom drain piping. Whoever did the original repair/ install obviously wasn’t a pro. Probably a child it was so bad. Mitch did a great repair and not one leak.
