I have a question about what type of engineer I need to inspect and give a report to address repairs that need to be done to fix and finish poor quality work.
I had some landscaping, erosion control and retaining wall work done. The work was done on a pool deck, located on the brow of the mountain ridge where we live. The work was done poorly, causing more harm than good, and actually made the problem we were attempting to address worse, even earlier. As a result, it's rapidly eroding and causing settling and shifting in the pool house.
Do you recommend a structural, forensic or other type of engineer?
I would post pictures, but it won't give me the option.
For context, they didn't complete the job, the work they did was bad, and they actually caused damage to our property in numerous ways.
They installed a gabion basket rock-filled wall just down the brow, but the main issue is the bad/incomplete installation of a prefab, engineered hollow core stacked stone wall. Along the outside of the pool deck, parallel to the brow edge.
