Why is water leaking through my retaining wall?
Retaining walls are primarily designed to hold back soil, not to prevent moisture. As a result, water seepage, especially during heavy rains, is a common occurrence and is typically expected.
These walls can allow water to pass through, as they are not waterproof but rather serve to manage soil stability. If you notice water leaking through the retaining wall, it’s likely due to the natural flow of water behind it, particularly in areas with significant rainfall.
