Retaining walls have a job bigger than freestanding walls. They must not only hold their own weight, but must also withstand the weight of the earth which is often saturated with water. Over time, inadequate anchors, tree roots, clogged drains, the weight of items on the ground above, among many other factors can contribute to a tilting, settling, or buckling retaining wall. Retaining walls can lean regardless of their consisting material. Before you spend the time and money demolishing your wall to start over, consider calling Briggs Basement and Foundation Repair.

The patented DynaPier foundation piering system was engineered to be the strongest foundation pier. The pier segments are pre-cast in a powder coated steel sleeve which is corrosion resistant. The outer casing is filled with a concrete core which provides superior strength and resistance, as proven in independent testing labs. Most foundation piers are constructed of either steel or concrete. The DynaPier is one of the only piers that combines both for maximum strength and durability. The pier segments are driven into the ground using a hydraulic press.
