Emergency Hillside Repairs
Emergency Hillside Repairs in Los Angeles & Ventura Counties
When a hillside fails, you don’t have time to shop around. Mor Construction, Inc. provides rapid response, engineered shoring, and permanent repair solutions to protect your home, your foundation, and your peace of mind.
Engineered Shoring & Retaining Systems
From soldier piles and shotcrete walls to drilled caissons and tiebacks, we work with engineers to design and build permanent systems that hold your hillside for the long term.
Drainage, Swales & Erosion Control
Many hillside failures start with poor drainage. We install French drains, area drains, swales, and surface controls to move water away from your home and relieve hydrostatic pressure.
Foundation, Pool & Hardscape Repair
If movement has reached your structure, we can rebuild damaged walls, slabs, and pool decks to tie back into the stabilized hillside and restore safety and usability.
Emergency Hillside Repair – Q&A
Every hillside is different. Here are answers to some of the most common questions homeowners in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties ask when they first notice movement.
-
How quickly can you come out and look at my hillside? +
In an emergency, we do our best to schedule a site visit as quickly as possible— often within 24–48 hours, depending on weather and access. On-site, we’ll review the visible damage, discuss your concerns, and outline immediate safety steps. -
Do you work with engineers, cities, and insurance companies? +
Yes. We regularly coordinate with geotechnical and structural engineers, local building departments, and insurance adjusters. We can help you gather photos, documentation, and repair plans to keep everyone on the same page. -
Is a temporary repair enough, or do I need a permanent solution? +
Temporary shoring or debris removal can make an area safer in the short term, but it does not stop the underlying movement. In most cases, the safest approach is to combine emergency stabilization with a permanent engineered repair plan. -
What should I do while I’m waiting for you to arrive? +
If you see active movement or feel unsafe, keep people away from the slope, pool edges, and retaining walls, and avoid walking on or under unstable areas. If there’s an immediate life-safety risk, call 911 first, then contact us to assess the damage once the site is secure. -
Do you only work on large hillside failures? +
No. We handle everything from early warning signs—small cracks, leaning walls, erosion channels—to full slope failures. Addressing issues early is usually less disruptive and more cost-effective than waiting for a major slide.
