What Is the Seawall Repair Process?
As the area’s leader for seawall repair, our expert technicians utilize the latest tools, equipment, and techniques to help improve the stability and function of your seawall to better protect your property.
Our polymer deep injection seawall repair process solves the issue of soil loss and soil settlement from the behind a seawall or bulkhead. We repair this problem by injecting a high-density structural polymer directly into the void area through 1/2 inch metal rods without excavating the soil or damaging the seawall or bulkhead.
Once injected, the polymers aggressively seek out the voids and push out any present water. The polymer expands throughout the voids and reestablishes the weight-bearing capacity of the soil while preventing future washout. Additionally, if any structures have settled along the seawall, it is possible for the structure to be lifted and leveled back to original grade.
Our polymer injection process helps owners avoid the costly hassle of dealing with coastal marine contractors, bulkhead construction, bulkhead replacement or seawall replacement. Our process works with all types of materials and designs, including wooden bulkheads, metal bulkheads, Concrete bulkheads, wooden seawalls, concrete seawalls and metal seawalls.
What Are the Signs I Need Seawall or Bulkhead Repair?
Your seawall is responsible for providing safety against waves and to prevent coastal erosion. When it fails, it can cause significant damage to structures along the coastline and lead to more frequent and severe flooding. You can expect your seawall to last over 50 years if properly maintained. However, your seawall may fail in as little as 20 years if neglected. If you own property along the coast, it’s crucial you have your bulkhead or seawall routinely inspected by a professional to ensure it’s still structurally sound. Some of the most common signs that landowners should look out for include the following:
- Sunken Seawall – Erosion and sinkholes can cause your seawall to crack or collapse. Ignoring the problems with your seawall will only lead to more significant issues.
- Cracks in the Seawall – Waves cause continual stress along your seawall. Over time, constant pressure leads to cracks, exposing your seawall and home to further damage.
- Soil Instability – Water can erode the soil underneath your seawall, leading to sinkholes. When the sinkhole collapses, it causes soil instability that may affect the structural integrity of your seawall.
- Recent Storm – While your seawall may not show any signs of damage after a large storm, a skilled and trained professional can provide a comprehensive assessment to ensure your seawall is still structurally sound.
