Seawall Repair

​Although seawalls are typically built to withstand the heavy force of pounding water, they are not infallible. With age and time, seawalls may fail and need repairs. When this happens you can have your seawalls repaired. Not all seawall damages necessitate replacement. Seawalls are expensive and complete replacement will cost a lot. However, if damages are discovered on time, Orlando Seawall Pros can help you fix the damage in order to extend the life of your installation and prevent total failure.
 
Why Do Seawalls Fail?
Seawall failure can be caused by various factors. It can be due to natural causes due to the effects of crashing waves on the wall. Changes in the pressure balance in the seawall can also lead to failure. Damages may also occur as a result of human error and poor construction practices. Seawalls are always exposed to natural corrosive elements like winds and saltwater. This can lead to deterioration over time and if the minor faults that arise are not fixed on time, it may lead to total seawall failure.
 
How To Know If Your Seawall Is In Need Of Repair
There are various forms of seawall damages that may occur over time. While some of these issues are minor, some faults require urgent repairs. Minor damages may include small cracks in the seawall cap. Some small chunks may also be broken off. For steel or aluminum walls, you may notice visible stains and rust. Damages like these are minor but still need to be fixed on time. Other more serious damages that require urgent attention include

• Washout of soil behind or underneath your wall
• Bowing or bulging wall due to pressure buildup
• Seawall movement away from your deck
• Large or widening gas in the seawall slab.
• Issues like this can negatively impact your seawall and they need to be repaired urgently. Failure to correct these issues can lead to serious damage.
