We finished a complicated hole & some for a garage and breezeway, and the next team just had to let us know:
"Hi Dana, they showed up and started laying forms today... They RAVED about how good the site work was. Very impressed."
Retaining a Slipping Foundation
Grade was so steep the materials (back fill) washed away from the foundation & the back of the garage sank over 5 inches
When we put a 4 foot level on the floor over a 3 foot area the floor dropped more that 2.5 inches. After siting the footing we found it has dropped more than 5+ inches
Step #1
Stabilize a working area:
we brought in free material off another job to build a more place to work
Step #2
Stabilize area & prep for wall:
- Erosion stone used to stabilize footing for wall
- Top with ¾” crushed stone compacting to a level stable base
- The wall allows us to compact, back fill against the foundation & footing with a greater pressure to hold it in place, insulate (from frost), minimize/ stopping any further motion from foundation.
- Wall Drainage (perforated PVC pipe in ¾” crushed stone, minimum of 12” back installed behind the wall.
Step #3
Drainage- Downspout & French drain lines:
- Drainage is done & French drain along the foundation for additional drainage
- Down spout drain lines were installed to take to move all roof water away from home

Backfill & compact
- Backfill & compact inside (12” lifts) retaining wall up to & against foundation. This applied an equal/ greater force against the foundation to hold it in place
