Common San Diego Retaining Wall Problems We Solve

WALL EMERGENCY? If you notice new cracks, leaning, or bulging in your retaining wall, call us immediately for a safety assessment.

SLOPING OR ERODING YARDS

Hillside properties losing soil during rainy seasons, creating dangerous drop-offs and unusable space.

FAILING EXISTING WALLS

Cracked, leaning, or bulging walls that could collapse. Many older San Diego walls weren't built to current seismic codes.

DRAINAGE & WATER ISSUES

Poor drainage causing water to pool, soil saturation, and potential foundation damage to your home.

LIMITED USABLE SPACE

Steep slopes preventing you from using your entire backyard for gardening, play areas, or entertainment.

The Agundez Engineering Process: Built to Last in San Diego

1

SITE ANALYSIS & ENGINEERING ASSESSMENT

We measure slope angle, soil type (clay, sand, or rock), drainage patterns, and load requirements. Many San Diego hillsides have unique clay soils that require specific engineering.

2

DESIGN & PERMIT PREPARATION

Our structural engineer creates designs meeting California Building Code (CBC) and local San Diego jurisdiction requirements. We handle all permit applications.

3

DRAINAGE SYSTEM DESIGN

Critical for San Diego's occasional heavy rains. We design: French drains, weep holes, proper backfill, and surface water diversion to prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup.

4

CONSTRUCTION WITH REINFORCEMENT

Proper footing depth, reinforcement (rebar or geogrid), and compaction. For seismic zones, we include additional reinforcement for lateral stability.

5

FINAL INSPECTION & WARRANTY

City inspection, final grading, and drainage testing. We provide a 20-year structural warranty on our retaining walls.
