Nearly every failed retaining wall we see failed because of water. Drainage stone, filter fabric, and a drain outlet behind the wall are what keep pressure off the face — and they are the first thing skipped by cheap installs.
If any of these sound like your property, it's worth a free on-site look.
Clean stone column and perforated pipe that collect water behind the wall.
Keeping soil fines out of the drainage stone so it keeps working.
A real exit point so collected water leaves rather than pooling behind the wall.
Swales and drains that stop runoff before it ever loads the wall.
Adding drainage to existing walls where it is feasible to open the back.
Rebuilding correctly when the wall has moved too far to stabilize.

Sometimes, by excavating behind the wall. If the wall has already moved significantly, rebuilding is usually the better value.
Bulging in the middle, seepage through joints, and soft saturated soil above are the classic signs.
No. Weep holes without a stone drainage zone behind them do very little.
