What Causes Seawall Damage in Long Boat Key
As a barrier island, Longboat Key has seawalls facing pressure from two directions — Sarasota Bay on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other, plus storm surge exposure that comes with an open Gulf coastline. That constant tidal and wave action works soil loose behind older walls, and once a crack forms, water keeps finding its way in and carrying soil out with it.
How We Fix It
Our repair method, Targeted Grout Injection, pumps 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, 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.

What's the difference between repairing and replacing a seawall?
Repair — typically Targeted Grout Injection to seal cracks and fill voids behind the wall — is almost always faster and less expensive than replacement, and it's the right fix when the wall's structure is still sound. Replacement becomes necessary once deterioration has gone on long enough that the wall itself has failed.

What causes a seawall to fail in Long Boat Key?
The most common causes here are tidal action and wave energy hitting the island from both Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, along with storm surge exposure, working soil loose behind the wall over time.
