What Causes Seawall Damage in Fort Lauderdale
With 165 miles of canals and heavy boat traffic on the New River and Intracoastal Waterway, Fort Lauderdale seawalls take on constant wake and tidal push. That steady water movement is what gradually washes soil out from behind older walls and works joints loose.
How We Fix It
Most seawall damage caught early can be repaired 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. It cures underwater, is NSF/ANSI certified, and meets Florida DOT specifications for chemical grout injection of soil — a less invasive and less expensive fix than tearing out and rebuilding.

Frequently asked questions
What areas of Fort Lauderdale do you serve for seawall repair?
We serve canal-front and Intracoastal properties throughout Fort Lauderdale, including ZIP codes 33301 and 33304, and neighborhoods like Las Olas Isles and Rio Vista. If you're not sure whether your address is in our service area, just call.
Is there a seawall repair company near me in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes — Solid Foundations serves Fort Lauderdale directly with our own crews, not through a referral network or subcontracted middleman. When you search for seawall repair near you in Fort Lauderdale, you're calling a local team.
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.
How much does seawall repair cost in Fort Lauderdale?
Cost depends on the length of wall affected, the extent of the damage, and the repair method needed. We provide a free evaluation and a clear, upfront estimate before any work begins.
Is Solid Foundations licensed for seawall repair in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. We're a licensed Florida General Contractor (CBC1267322), and our crews are trained and insured for seawall, foundation, and structural repair work.
What causes a seawall to fail in Fort Lauderdale?
Fort Lauderdale's 165 miles of canals and heavy boat traffic on the New River and Intracoastal Waterway put constant wake and tidal pressure on seawalls. Over time that pressure wears down joints and washes soil out from behind the wall, which is what leads to cracking and bowing if it isn't addressed.
