I live in the middle of a fairly steep hill. Downside is my
driveway. Holding the driveway in place is a retainer wall
approximately 4 feet high by 50 feet long. The wall is tipping and I
have about a 4 inch space between the concrete driveway and the wall.
The wall is the end of the backyard to a neighbors house about 50 feet
downhill. If the wall goes, so does my driveway and possibly my
house.
Who do I call to repair? Is there a specialist? Costs? Any info /
ideas are appreciated. I don't think it will survive a winter here in
Pennsylvania. Homeowners insurance?
What's the construction of the wall--poured concrete, brick/stone, wood, ...
Any idea what it is sitting on, foundation-wise?
How to repair would depend largely on how it was built. It might end up being easier to take it down and do another, depending on what the problem really is.
