If you're having problems with your foundation, water is getting through and making a mess out of everything in your basement, we would recommend building a retaining wall. This structure is specifically designed to resist the lateral pressure of soil or in some cases, water pressures. Every one of our walls supports a 'wedge' of soil. The wedge is defined as the soil which extends beyond the failure plane of the soil type present at the site, and that can also be calculated once the soil friction angle is known.
