We remove an existing rail road tie retaining wall located on the clients property lineThe only access to remove and replace the wall was from a neighbors property which was located below my clients propertyWe replaced the old R/R wall with a new Keystone type wallBecause of the exiting water coming from behind the old wall, we added a new drain line to help alleviate any future hydrostatic water pressure on our new wall we installedI made it very clear to the client that there was and exiting water problem and the water will be picked up by our new drainage and my contract clearly states " the drain pipe will be day lighted out in front of the wall"The water has ALWAY gone through a low spot onto the neighbors property and it we left it as it did before we did our work The neighbor asked that we level an area for him to install a future shed which we gladly did and we re rocked his driveway area we disturbed and also added crushed rock to the new pad for his future shedIn addition we top dressed the disturbed area with topsoil and over seeded with grass seedWe also created a swell to carrier the water away from below the new wall and past the corner of the neighbors house I mentioned to the client that additional drainage should be installed if his neighbor would want the underground water from behind wall piped off to a lower spot on his neighbors property My contract was to remove and replace and a retaining wall and add drainage behind the wallWe did not contract to add additional drainage to a property the client did not even own
