What Causes Seawall Damage in Clewiston
Clewiston's location on Lake Okeechobee means seawalls and lakefront structures see wind-driven wave action and water levels that shift as the lake is managed through the Herbert Hoover Dike system. Those fluctuations put steady pressure on seawalls over time, wearing down joints and washing soil out from behind a wall.
How We Fix It
When the damage is caught early, we repair with Targeted Grout Injection instead of a full replacement. We pump a hydrophobic polyurethane resin — Prime Flex 910 — through a 3/8" port to seal leaks and fill the voids that have opened up behind the wall. The resin cures underwater, is NSF/ANSI certified for use around water, and meets Florida DOT specifications for chemical grout injection of soil. It's a faster, less invasive, and less expensive fix than tearing out and rebuilding, when the wall's structure is still sound.

What causes a seawall to fail in Clewiston?
Clewiston's seawalls sit on Lake Okeechobee, where water levels are managed through the Herbert Hoover Dike system and wind-driven waves put steady pressure on lakefront structures. Over time that pressure washes soil out from behind the wall and opens up cracks and gaps that only get worse if left alone.
