Retaining Walls
Protect Structural Integrity with Waterproofing
Retaining walls endure constant pressure from soil and moisture. Waterproofing prevents water infiltration that can lead to soil saturation, wall cracks, and structural failure. Our solutions help extend the life and strength of your retaining walls.
Common Issues We Resolve
- Water seepage saturating the soil behind walls
- Cracks and concrete degradation from moisture pressure
- Mould growth and efflorescence on walls
- Poor drainage is causing wall instability
How We Repair
- Full assessment of wall condition, drainage, and water entry points
- Application of waterproof membranes or coatings on underground or rear wall surfaces
- Installation or upgrade of drainage systems like weep holes and gravel backfill
- Crack and concrete spalling repairs
- Advice on ongoing maintenance and monitoring

FAQs Retaining Wall Waterproofing
How often should retaining walls be checked or waterproofed?
Inspect every 3-5 years and renew waterproofing every 7 to 10 years, depending on soil and weather conditions.
Can waterproofing alone stop soil erosion?
No. Waterproofing protects the wall, but proper drainage like gravel and weep holes is needed to control soil erosion.
Will waterproofing change my wall’s appearance?
No. Waterproofing is applied to hidden or underground parts, so the visible wall stays unchanged.
What if cracks appear in a waterproofed wall?
Cracks should be repaired promptly with crack injection and joint repairs to stop leaks and protect the wall.
Is waterproofing needed for every retaining wall?
Not all, but it’s important for walls holding clay or wet soils and those facing water pressure to ensure durability.
