Winter is coming. And it’s going to be another harsh one here in Maryland. According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, “Winter will be colder and snowier than normal” with the coldest period will be in January, late December, mid-February, and early March.
“Precipitation will be slightly above normal, with the snowiest periods in mid- and late December, early to mid-January, and late March.”
So what does this all mean for you? NOW is the perfect time to address facility maintenance issues, like retaining wall repair.
Does My Retaining Wall Need to be Repaired?
Retaining walls serve two primary purposes. 1) These structures are used to retain lateral pressure of soil. In layman’s terms, they keep soil from moving do to gravity and erosion. 2) Retaining walls look good. Period. They are an aesthetically appealing way to frame landscape elements and reduce landscape maintenance. But, as they say, all things must come to an end. Eventually, your one beautiful retaining wall will need to be repaired or replaced, but when? How will you know when the time has come?
Look for the three major warning signs of trouble: tilting, separating, and crumbling. If your retaining wall is starting to lean, separating from adjacent walls, or crumbling before your eyes, pick up your phone, and call for help. Call PTG Enterprises.
