Hello all. Not sure if I'm posting in the right forum for this question but here goes.
I'm the prospective purchaser of a house built below a former railway line, now a cycle path.
The embankment wall is retained with a timber wall, of a type I have found to be called 'crib.'
It's about 15-20 years old.
My concern is over its lifespan and how to determine it. Could be a nightmare if the wall needs attention.
Does anyone have any experience of such things?
