DRAINAGE AROUND RETAINING WALLS

Plan Surface Water Around The Wall

Water pooling at the top, ends or base of a wall needs review alongside the surrounding grade. This service focuses on surface water approaching and leaving the wall area rather than the concealed drainage system behind the retained soil.

Doraville’s land disturbance process includes site plans, tree plans and hydrology review. Define the project first so the applicable review can be checked.

THE WORK INVOLVED

Keep Surface Runoff Separate From Wall Drainage

Water running across the ground beside a wall is different from water collecting behind retained soil. Describe where it arrives and where it pools. Reviewing both paths helps define the surface drainage work without assuming the wall system is the same problem.

  • Surface Water Path
  • Pooling Beside The Wall
  • Separate Wall Components

YOUR PROPERTY AFTER THE WORK

Keep The Finished Water Route Open

Leaves, soil and planting can interrupt a surface drainage path. Keep accessible channels or openings clear and observe the wall area during rain. Water appearing behind the wall should be described separately from surface pooling.

  • Open Water Path
  • Landscape Changes
  • Separate Behind Wall Water

Doraville Drainage Around Retaining Walls Questions

Is surface drainage the same as drainage behind a wall?

No. Surface drainage handles water around the wall area. Drainage behind the wall addresses the retained soil and internal system.

Can downspouts affect the wall area?

Yes. Explain where roof water currently discharges so that route can be considered.

Will you direct water toward a neighboring property?

A suitable discharge route must be reviewed. The plan should account for property boundaries and applicable requirements.
