What Causes Seawall Damage in DeLand
DeLand's waterfront properties along the St. Johns River and Lake Beresford deal with boat wake, seasonal water-level changes, and the slow but constant current that river systems put on seawalls over time.
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 DeLand?
