What Causes Seawall Damage in Tavares
Tavares sits between Lake Eustis, Lake Dora, and Lake Harris, part of the Harris Chain of Lakes, and seawalls here see wind-driven wave action and seasonal water-level swings from more than one lake. That pressure is what wears down joints and washes soil out from behind a wall 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.
