Signs You Should Call a Landslide Prevention Professional
Most major landslides start small. Recognizing the early warning signs can save you significant time, money, and stress.
Call Westward Builders immediately if you notice:
- The soil on a hillside beginning to shift or slump
- Cracks appearing in the ground or retaining walls
- Gaps forming between the soil and foundation
- Doors and windows sticking due to shifting structures
- Sudden water runoff patterns or pooling near the base of a slope
Ignoring these warning signs can turn a manageable issue into a costly and dangerous disaster.

“Christophe M.
Westward Builders just finished a wonderful construction for a new studio on a hillside. A big part of the job was excavating the hillside and building a huge retaining wall. We did not even dream that it could go so smoothly and be so aesthetically p

A Real-World Example
One of the best illustrations of why early action matters came from a project we were called to on a Monday morning. The homeowner noticed what he described as his house “moving.” Our team quickly assessed the situation and installed an underpinning pier to support the foundation by Friday afternoon.
When we returned after the weekend, the soil beneath an entire corner of the home had slid away so dramatically that you could see daylight under the original foundation. Thanks to fast action, we stabilized the structure before disaster could strike. Had the homeowner waited longer before calling us, the entire house would have been a complete loss.
This case highlights why acting at the first signs of a landslide is critical and why partnering with an experienced contractor like Westward Builders matters.
