ERWalls writes evidence-ready scopes adjusters understand.
Retaining Wall Repair Estimates
It’s a line-item breakdown of the repair or rebuild needed to restore safety and function after wall failure, written in a format adjusters can review.
Because insurance estimates must document structural scope—excavation, base prep, drainage, reinforcement, and engineering—not just block and labor.
Wall height, soil conditions, drainage needs, access difficulty, demolition volume, and whether reinforcement like geogrid or anchors is required.
Yes when required. Engineering reports, design, and inspection are legitimate line items for walls over 4 feet or supporting structures.
It’s added cost for hard access—steep slopes, tight backyards, lake lots, crane lifts, or barge staging—that increases labor and equipment time.
Drainage is scoped as a full system: clean-stone zone, pipe, outlets, fabric, and surface water control. It’s critical and never optional.
We document movement and failure mode. If the wall lost structural stability, the estimate is written for engineered rebuild, not patch repair.
Photos, measurements, failure notes, drainage findings, and engineering conclusions that tie the scope to safety and code requirements.
Yes. If stabilization is needed for safety before rebuild, it’s listed as a separate, justified line item.
Because they match what inspectors require: engineered scope, real drainage, reinforcement, and clear documentation of cause and risk.
