Why Retaining Walls Fail in Ottawa
Ottawa's climate and soil conditions challenge retaining walls:
- Frost pressure - Frozen wet soil expands behind walls.
- Clay soil - Ottawa's clay retains water and swells.
- Drainage failure - Clogged drains cause water buildup.
- Inadequate construction - Walls built without proper reinforcement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about retaining wall repair in Ottawa
How do I know if my retaining wall needs repair?
Signs include visible lean or tilt, bulging sections, gaps between blocks, water seeping through, and cracks in the cap blocks.
Can a leaning wall be fixed or must it be rebuilt?
Minor leans (less than 1 inch per foot) can often be repaired. Severe leans usually require full or partial rebuild. We assess and recommend honestly.
Why is my wall leaning?
Most commonly: inadequate drainage behind the wall, insufficient base, or wall built taller than design specs allow. Water pressure behind walls is the #1 cause of failure.
Do you fix walls you didn't build?
Yes. We repair walls installed by others. We assess the original construction and recommend appropriate repairs.
How long does a repair take?
Small repairs take 1-2 days. Large wall sections requiring drainage work may take a week. We provide timeline estimates with quotes.
Will the same problem happen again?
Not if we fix the root cause. Proper drainage is critical. Repaired walls with good drainage should last decades.
