What are homeowners curious about when it comes to retaining wall inspection?
What does a retaining wall assessment include?
The scope varies by professional. Ask whether it includes visible wall condition, drainage, nearby loads, measurements and a written report. Some conditions behind or beneath the wall may not be visible without additional investigation.
Do I need an engineer?
That depends on your question, the wall and the site. Ask the relevant building department or California licensing authority which professional qualifications fit the assessment or design you need.
Can an inspection reveal everything behind a wall?
No. A visual inspection cannot establish every concealed condition. Ask what the professional can observe and whether further investigation is recommended.
Should I check a wall before buying a property?
If a wall concerns you, consider an assessment before you commit. Confirm the professional’s qualifications, the scope, report timing and any purchase deadlines before scheduling.
