Routine Seawall Maintenance

Routine Seawall Maintenance is often overlooked and can be the cause of larger and more costly repairs such as soil loss, undermining and seawall failure.  It is recommended your seawall be cleaned and serviced every 3-5 years.  The two most common maintenance items are King Pile/ T-Beam Sealing with Hydraulic Cement and Coral Rock Seawall Sealing with Hydraulic Mortar.  All of our maintenance work comes with an adhesion guarantee.

Soil Loss Behind the Seawall

Soil Loss/ erosion is one of the biggest indicators that your seawall requires a repair or Routine Maintenance.  In most cases, we can diagnose and fix the issue in a single day.  We will even replace the soil you lost.

Concrete Restoration and Repair

If your Sewall Cap, Panels or Pilings are showing signs of rust, Hydros can help.  We have the machinery and experience to restore concrete that has been exposed to corrosive environments.  Additionally, we can seal and protect your concrete seawall, dock or piling to protect it from future corrosion attacks.

Jet Filter Dewatering Drains

Commonly referred to in the industry as “weep holes”, Dewatering Drains can help save your seawall from failure due to hydrostatic pressures behind the seawall.  This can happen as a result of poor drainage of upland areas during times of heavy precipitation and everyday tidal activity.  This simple filtered drain installed through your seawall could save you hundreds of thousands of dollars in lieu of a seawall failure! We proudly install Jet Filter brand dewatering drains as we feel they are of the highest quality and value for our clients.

Seawall Footer Installation 

A seawall footer serves several purposes.  First off, it provides added structure and support at the base of the seawall.  Second, its Aluminum sheet panels provide embedment into the canal berm that help retain upland fill, preventing soil loss.  We hand drive all of our footer panels, add a marine engineer specified steel configuration and backfill with high quality concrete mix capable of curing under water.

Seawall Cap Raising

Rising sea levels and municipal codes continue to dictate raising your seawall as a viable investment.  We only use high quality concrete, marine engineer steel configurations and world class finishing to include chamfered (beveled) edges and light broom finishing. 

New Seawall Construction

Most seawalls in South Florida are first generation, nearing 75+ years old in some areas.  At Hydros we offer the most modern seawall solutions to include Truline, Everlast and Shoreguard to name a few.  Additionally, we are capable of forming and pouring traditional concrete seawall panels and installing them in conjunction with either stainless steel tie-back systems or batter piles.

Supplemental Tie Back Systems

Over time, steel tie-back systems corrode to density that is not sufficient for retaining a seawall in place.  More often than not, the seawall will begin “Bowing” out toward the water.  A simple, yet effective fix may be new, supplemental tie back anchors.  We offer several types of Manta Ray, Helical and concrete “dead man” solutions to help retain your seawall.

Crustacean Removal

Over time, crustaceans build up on your seawall, dock and pilings creating an unsatisfactory appearance.  We offer services to remove them quickly and efficiently.
