Retaining Wall Repair & Restoration in Langley, BC

A leaning or cracking wall doesn't fix itself, and it usually gets worse fast. Most wall failures come down to one thing: water with nowhere to go. We diagnose what's actually wrong, then repoint, rebuild, or add the drainage that was missing the first time. Sometimes a repair is enough; sometimes it needs to come down and go back up right. We'll tell you straight which one it is.

What's included

When you need wall repair

A wall leaning out

A wall tipping forward is failing. Caught early, it's often saveable.

Cracks or bulging

Cracks and bulges mean pressure is building behind the wall. It needs attention.

Water staining or washout

If water's running through or around the wall, drainage is the real problem.

Our process

  1. 1

    Diagnose

    We find out why the wall is failing before we quote a fix. Usually it's drainage.

  2. 2

    Recommend

    We tell you honestly whether to repair or rebuild, and why.

  3. 3

    Fix it

    Repoint, rebuild, or add drainage, done so it doesn't come back.

  4. 4

    Clean up

    We restore the grade and leave the site tidy.

Wall Repair: common questions

What kind of retaining walls do you build?

Masonry walls: mortared natural stone, brick, armour stone and boulder walls, and reinforced concrete block or segmental walls. We're a mason, so stone and brick are our specialty, but we build the right wall for your site.

How tall can a retaining wall be?

We build walls of all heights. Once a wall passes about a metre, or holds a load like a driveway, it usually needs an engineer's design and a permit. We arrange both so it's done by the book.

Why do retaining walls fail?

Almost always water. When water builds up behind a wall with no drainage, the pressure pushes it over. That's why we put as much work into the footing and drainage as the stone you see.

Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Langley?

Lower garden walls usually don't, but taller or load-bearing walls do, and the rules vary between Langley City, the Township, and Surrey. We'll tell you what your wall needs and handle the permit and engineering if it does.

How long does a retaining wall take to build?

It depends on the size, the stone, and the site access. A small garden wall can be a couple of days; a large engineered wall can run a week or more. We'll give you a realistic timeline when we quote.
