What Causes Seawall Damage in Lake Placid
With so many lakes bordering Lake Placid properties, wave action, fluctuating water levels, and years of water pressure working against a wall are the most common culprits. Freshwater lake walls also take on damage from tree roots, poor original compaction, and stormwater runoff that finds a path through small cracks and washes soil out from behind the structure.
How We Fix It
Solid Foundations repairs failing seawalls with Targeted Grout Injection — pumping 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. Caught early, this is a far less invasive and less expensive fix than tearing out and replacing the wall.
