I had it fixed befo

But it keeps falling down in exactly the same spots!

Q1: What's the best way to re-mason it myself?
How can I reinforce it against whatever it is that is breaking it down?

PS: Earthquake country.

Second pic tells more. That single layer of brick isnt a wall. From the first pic I thought it was brick veneer over poured concrete. Maybe trench out behind the brick and pour a concrete retainer wall with proper footing.
