Block Wall RepairWhen is it Required?
Block walls are designed to be durable and to require as little maintenance as possible. They’re rot, pest, fire, and weather resistant, but that doesn’t mean they will always be free from damage. There are a few signs that you should be aware of and you may need to call a team of block wall repair contractors to have a retaining or block fence repaired.

- Pressure-creating Tilting – block retaining walls can suffer from load pressure creating a tilting effect if the pressure of water and soil builds up too much behind the wall. It may be necessary to look into why the pressure is building and ways to remove that pressure so the wall can be fixed, and the issue will not occur again. Things that can cause this pressure are tree roots that have grown and are pushing against the wall's foundation.
- Buckling or Bulging – If a block retaining wall shows signs of buckling or bulging, it’s likely a sign that the wall is suffering from too much pressure in one or more areas. An expert will be needed to determine why this is occurring and what needs to be done to fix the primary cause.
Repairing Block Walls

This is usually a large job because the wall will need to be taken apart, and then all of the blocks will need to be removed from your property.

However, our team can handle the block wall demolition for you.

Block Wall Gate Installation
|
Block walls can be constructed with or without a gate. Without a gate, a gap will be needed in the wall to allow entry, so security can be compromised if that’s a concern. If a gate is desired, Phoenix gate companies can review the plans for the block wall and discuss options. Depending on the security needed and your preferences, like if you would like an RV gate and more. There are also various options for wood or metal wrought iron gates too.

Retaining Wall Installation and Repair
|
A land survey is needed before a retaining wall is installed so that it is possible to see how the wall will impact water flow and drainage. To avoid needing retaining wall repair in the future, the wall needs to be designed to reduce or eliminate the pressure of soil and water behind the wall, so it will not end up bulging, cracking, or failing. Our team is experienced in retaining block walls, and we can create a plan that’s going to fit your needs, your property, and local regulations. Once the plan is in place, the retaining wall can be built and can be used for construction, erosion control, or other projects.
|
Along with being used as a fence, a block wall can be used as a retention wall, as well. A block wall builder from our team can review your project and help design the retaining wall to best fit your needs. Some options for block retaining walls include walls used for landscaping purposes or to prevent erosion, basement walls, stairs, walkways, and more. Retaining walls do have high pressure against one side, so they need to be designed properly to handle this pressure.
The Installation of a Retaining Wall
As mentioned, block walls can be used as a retention wall. Most often, this is done during the construction of buildings or additions or as a way to control erosion on the property. Many of the retaining walls are dry-stacked, so they’re built without mortar and are designed to hold back soil without the need for mortar or other adhesive bonds.
There are various bonds that can be used to layout bricks for a retaining wall installation, which leads to a more classic look that’s strong and easy to care for. Brock bonds can include running, common, blemish, or Dutch bonds, as well as others. Each one can have an impact on how the bricks work, so if you’d like a specific look for the retaining wall, it’s best to talk to the contractor about the various options available. Depending on where the retaining block wall is located, you may also want to look into veneers that can be used to enhance the look of the outside of the wall.

Painting Cinder Block Walls
Painting cinder block walls is an important part of the wall-finishing process. A layer of high-quality cinder block paint doesn’t just make the exterior of your home look more appealing, but it also adds a layer of protection.
That’s because a painted block wall is waterproof and will be less prone to water ingress, prolonging the lifespan of your wall.
In addition, a fresh coat of paint also makes your walls more UV-resistant and easier to clean, ensuring that you are able to maintain the appearance of your walls for longer. Plus, it increases the value of your home, which is great if you’re hoping to sell in the future.
However, to truly enjoy the benefits of exterior wall paint, it’s essential to work with a block wall painting company that has experience painting concrete blockwork and finishing cinder block walls.
As the leading cinder block painting company in Phoenix, we can help you achieve a professional, consistent finish that will stand the test of time.

Block Walls and Their Benefits
|
Block walls are simply walls made from concrete masonry units (CMU), also known as cinder blocks. The basic wall is made using cinder blocks, and then brick or stone veneers can be added to make the overall design of the wall more attractive. Customers also like to have stucco applied to their walls for a smooth finish.
Due to their durability, these walls are perfect for any property type, can be any size needed, and can provide added curb appeal, extra safety around a property, increase privacy, and far more. Block enclosures are easy and fast to construct, and they provide a number of benefits over the other types of fencing available.

Easy Maintenance and Repair
|
Block walls are known for being easy to maintain and repair. Maintenance includes cleaning the wall regularly with a pressure washer or power washer to remove dirt, grime, mildew, and other contaminants from the wall. If there is any damage noticed during the regular maintenance, it is generally easy for a contractor to repair the wall.
In most cases, filling the damaged area is all that’s needed. Sealants can be used to keep the wall in good condition. When necessary, part or all of the wall can be replaced to fix the damaged areas. One of our contractors can review the maintenance needed before the installation of a new wall or help with the maintenance and repair, ensuring your block partition continues to be in good shape for as long as possible.

High Strength
|
A cinder block fence is a perfect option when strength is needed. Depending on the design, retaining walls or block walls can be stacked and interlocked with specialized pins, allowing them to be constructed without mortar. Other block fencing does use mortar to hold the wall together and in place. Frost footings may not be needed, again depending on the construction, so there is less to worry about during the construction and less that could fail in the future.
Once the blocks are connected, and in place, the wall can withstand quite a bit. Weather, accidents and more will not likely cause a catastrophic failure of the fence. If there is any damage, it is easy to replace broken blocks or a section of the wall or to repair the wall without having to replace anything.
|
|
Long-Lasting Durability
|
Concrete can last for years, despite the weather elements. Walls built from this material likewise offer long-lasting durability and will often last much longer than other types of fencing. Metal fencing can suffer from rust, wood fencing suffers from rot, and vinyl fencing can be easily damaged during adverse weather conditions. A concrete block wall, on the other hand, does not suffer from any of these issues. A concrete wall fence is going to last much longer compared to metal, wood, or vinyl fencing, so you don’t have to worry as much about the cost of repair or the cost to replace the fencing in just a few short years.
|
|
Pest, Fire, and Weather-Resistant
Wood fences are susceptible to termites, mold fungus, ants, and more. They also burn quickly if there is a fire. With masonry or concrete fencing, this isn’t a worry. The concrete is not susceptible to bugs, as there are no bugs that eat through concrete. If there is a crack, pests can get inside the concrete, but it is easy enough to repair this and prevent further damage. Fire isn’t a worry either, as the concrete fencing will not burn and collapse like a wood fence will.
Concrete block walls are also better at withstanding the elements compared to other types of fencing. Metal, wood, and vinyl fencing can be knocked down in high winds or damaged by hail and other weather concerns. Block walls, on the other hand, will still be standing after the weather event has ended and most likely will not need any repairs. If you’re looking for something that can withstand just about any issue, a block wall fence is the best option.

Green Fencing Option
With the climate changes being seen around the world, many people are opting to go green whenever they can. With fencing, block wall fences are the greenest choice due to their construction, the materials needed for them, and their durability. Block walls do not deplete natural resources like wooden fences do, and they’re not going to need to be replaced as frequently as wood, vinyl, or metal fencing may be. The longer the fence is in place, the less it costs in materials and the smaller of an impact it has on the environment overall. |
