What Causes Seawall Damage in Merritt Island
With the Indian River, Banana River, and Sykes Creek all bordering the island, tidal action and boat wake are constant. Storm surge during hurricane season adds to the pressure, and any of these can wash soil out from behind a wall over time.
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.
