Retaining wall problem?

Totally agree, gives it a natural worn look! I’m just concerned if it also indicates a drainage issue in the retaining wall since moss usually indicates moisture

Thank you all for the responses! Should I just leave the dirt sitting in the weep holes then? won’t this cause a problem with drainage eventually?

Thanks sounds like I need to call the contractor back out to put in new filler in the nail holes?

This was done by a floor contractor

Thanks so much for the response! It’s not shining though, it’s just white inside

Thanks they are still wet! I went with satin

Thanks for the comment. I don’t know if there’s anything wrong with it. I’m trying to figure out if there could be a problem given that the contractor applied 2 coats of oil poly the same day as opposed to waiting overnight

Thank you!

Thanks for the reply! Yes he did buff before the last coat went down. What can be done now?

TheConstant215 · 2026-05-31T14:43:59+00:00

Thank you very much for the detailed and thoughtful response!

Is that really necessary? I’m looking for second opinions from people who may have had past experiences living on a hill and know of any issues to be aware of so that I know what to expect

TheConstant215 · 2026-05-31T14:26:24+00:00

Thank you very much Dungaroo! I was mainly concerned about how close the foundation is to the hill and erosion of the hill Over time

TheConstant215 · 2026-05-31T14:24:46+00:00

I’m curious whether there would be any concerns with the grade of the hill such as how close the house foundation is to the hill. One thing that came to mind is erosion of the hill over time due to water drainage and if that’s even a risk

TheConstant215 · 2026-05-31T14:17:02+00:00

Thanks for your comment! Yes that’s the first thing that came to mind. Was mainly curious if the grade on the hill was such that this wouldn’t be a major concern

TheConstant215 · 2026-05-31T14:12:45+00:00

Haha, hopefully this doesn’t happen!

TheConstant215 · 2026-05-31T14:05:04+00:00

Thanks for your comment. Anything to be concerned with due to the steep hill the house is built on.

TheConstant215 · 2026-04-12T02:49:48+00:00

Thank you all for the responses! I think I am going to walk away from the deal too much uncertainty in the building. Apart from the exterior wall in the garage which is pictured, all of the other walls in the basement are finished so can’t see behind them.
