What Causes Seawall Damage in Punta Gorda
Punta Gorda Isles and Burnt Store Isles sit on a wide canal network with direct tidal exchange to Charlotte Harbor, and that tidal movement, along with boat wake and storm surge off the harbor, puts steady pressure on the seawalls lining those canal lots. Over time that pressure is what wears down joints and washes 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.
