Signs of a Failing Seawall
- Cracks running through the concrete or wall surface
- A pitted or spalling (flaking) surface texture
- Soil washing out from behind the wall
- A bowing or bulging midsection
- Gaps opening at the top or bottom of the wall
- A growing gap between the seawall and your dock or deck
What Causes Seawall Damage in St. Petersburg
Tidal action off Tampa Bay pushes and pulls at seawalls twice a day, every day, and that constant cycle works soil loose behind an aging wall over time. Add in boat wake along the waterfront and Florida's seasonal storm surge risk, and it's easy to see why bayfront seawalls need more attention than a wall on a calm inland lake.
How We Fix It
We repair most 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, 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.
