Retaining Wall Drainage in Savannah GA. Prevent Wall Failure

Retaining walls fail when water builds up behind them. The hydrostatic pressure pushes against the wall, causing bulging, cracking, and eventually collapse. If you see water weeping through your wall, cracks forming, or the wall leaning forward, drainage is the issue. We install drainage systems behind retaining walls to relieve pressure and extend wall life. Acting now saves the cost of wall replacement later.

When You Need Retaining Wall Drainage

Signs of drainage problems include water seeping through wall joints, efflorescence (white mineral deposits) on the wall face, visible cracking, and any forward lean or bulge. Walls built without proper drainage eventually fail. If your wall was installed without a drainage layer and weep holes, it's at risk. Seasonal wet periods in Savannah increase the pressure on walls without drainage. Address it before failure occurs.

Our Retaining Wall Drainage Process

For new walls, we install drainage during construction—gravel backfill, perforated pipe at the base, and weep holes through the wall face. For existing walls without drainage, we excavate behind the wall, install drainage materials, and recompact the backfill. Depending on wall condition, we may need to rebuild sections. All drainage routes to proper outlets away from the wall base.

Retaining Wall Drainage Cost in Savannah

Costs depend on wall length, height, and accessibility. Adding drainage to existing walls costs more than including it in new construction. We provide free assessments to evaluate your specific situation and detailed estimates before work begins.
