Canal Seawall Repair in Southwest Florida

The seawall cap connects and holds together the wall panels while supporting tiebacks and resisting lateral pressure from the land side. Over time, Florida’s extreme weather, saltwater, and tidal fluctuations cause:

• Cracked, crumbling concrete
• Exposed or rusted rebar
• Surface spalling
• Failed tieback anchors
• Increased wall movement and water intrusion

Quick Insight:
Damaged seawall caps allow water and soil to penetrate the wall system, leading to erosion behind the wall and increased risk of collapse.

Here’s how Seawall Savers™ protects your seawall with a comprehensive, cost-effective solution:

1.  Seawall Cap Replacement

We remove failing caps and install new, reinforced concrete caps designed to:

• Strengthen the entire seawall structure
• Anchor new or existing tieback systems
• Resist saltwater corrosion with epoxy-coated rebar
• Provide a non-slip surface for safety and maintenance

We custom-pour each cap using marine-grade concrete rated for 30+ years in harsh conditions.

2. Jet Filters™ — Protect the Soil Behind the Wall

Water naturally builds up behind seawalls during storms and tides. Without proper drainage, this creates hydrostatic pressure, which leads to:

• Soil washout
• Sinkholes
• Cracked panels

We install Jet Filters™ to allow water to drain safely while keeping soil in place.

Benefits:

• Filter fabric prevents backfill erosion
• One-way valve options prevent tidal backflow
• Easily maintainable from the water side
• Extend life of both old and new seawalls

Jet Filters™ are ideal for seawalls with poor drainage or visible sinkholes forming behind them.

3. Erosion Guard Panels — Seal & Reinforce Your Wall

Seams between seawall panels are often the first point of failure. Over time, water seeps through, causing hidden erosion behind the wall.

Our erosion guard panels are installed over:

• Panel joints
• Cracks
• Previously patched seams

These panels:

• Prevent water infiltration
• Seal active leaks
• Reinforce aging concrete or vinyl walls
• Add stability without full wall replacement

Combined with a new cap and proper drainage, guard panels deliver full wall integrity for decades.
