Retaining Walls by John Himchak Construction Company Inc. in Washington, D.C.

A Focus on Quality and Durability

A wall is more than just stones and cement; it's a fortress against the elements. Our retaining walls are constructed using high-quality concrete that ensures they last for decades. We combine this with reinforcing steel or reinforcement fibers that lend extraordinary strength to the structure. These aren't mere walls; they're legacies built to endure.

Harnessing Expertise in Installation and Replacement

Whether you need a brand-new retaining wall or require repairs to an existing one, our installation services are designed to meet your every need. Our team has the know-how to construct walls that not only look good but also serve their intended purpose effectively. And if you already have a retaining wall that’s showing its age, we excel in repair and replacement services to give it a new lease on life.

Commitment to Excellence in Design and Engineering

Our team is adept at offering custom solutions tailored to your needs. Whether you want curves, angles, steps, or other unique features, we incorporate these with finesse. We do more than just build walls; we create masterpieces of engineering.

Making Building Permits and Codes Hassle-free

The maze of building permits and code compliance can be confusing. But don't worry, as a partner in your project, we’ll navigate this labyrinth with you. Our assistance ensures that your retaining wall is not just robust but also fully compliant with local building codes.

Preparing the Canvas: Excavation and Site Preparation

Before any concrete is poured or any stone is laid, we start by preparing the land. Our excavation services make sure that the foundation for your retaining wall is as solid as the wall itself.

Keeping Water at Bay: Drainage System Design

Water damage is the arch-nemesis of any wall. We employ smart drainage system designs to ensure that water flows away from your wall, thus increasing its longevity.

Slope Stabilization Techniques

We understand that every site is different, and so we use soil anchoring or geogrids to stabilize slopes, providing a firm base for your retaining wall.

Unique Features: Adding Aesthetics and Functionality

Who says retaining walls have to be boring? Our designs can include a range of features such as curves, angles, and steps to make your wall both beautiful and functional.

The Finishing Touches: Sealing and Waterproofing

We cap it off with sealing and waterproofing applications that further extend the life of your wall, making sure it remains a sturdy guardian for years to come.
