What Causes Seawall Damage in Lakeland
On Lakeland's lakefront lots, water pressure behind the wall and fluctuating lake levels are the main culprits, along with stormwater runoff that finds its way through small cracks and washes soil out from behind the structure over time.
How We Fix It
We use 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 certified under NSF/ANSI standards, 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.
