If you have a basement, you are dealing with retaining walls.
A basement can add floor space and value to a property without the need for planning or changes to the look of the building.
ADS Consultants have the requisite knowledge to design retaining walls so that they do not move (slide forward or overturn), ensuring that the wall remains stable and the ground levels unchanged.
