If you live along a body of water, as we do in areas surrounding Marine City, MI, then you know the importance of a seawall to your property. Seawalls are built to provide protection from coastal erosion, and are often the first line of defense in storm and flooding situations. So what happens when over time, erosion affects your seawall? How do you fix erosion behind a seawall? Well that is where Foam All comes in. We can help, so that your seawall can continue to do its job.
According to Wikipedia, Marine City, MI is considered part of the “Thumb” of Michigan. It is located along the bank of the St. Claire river, and water, as well as seawalls run up and down the coastal area. The St. Claire river is the waterway that connects Lake Huron and Lake Erie. This area can be impacted greatly by cyclical precipitation levels which are detailed by the US Army Corps of Engineers in the Monthly Bulletin of Great Lakes Water Levels. So it can be said that seawalls are an important part of the landscape around the area.
Over time, and with the elements, the earth that contributes to the structural integrity of your seawall can erode. When this happens, it can weaken the structure or end up in seawall failure. Foam All can come to you and inspect the seawall for you. If needed, we will then use innovative ground stabilizing techniques to inject polyurethane foam into the affected areas. The foam will bond between the seawall and the ground around it that is long lasting. This will effectively fix the erosion behind the seawall for years and years to come.
When you are experiencing erosion in the soils around your home this can created a dangerous situation for both you, your family, and your property. If the seawall is weakened, and a heavy storm and/or flooding occur, your seawall can fail. With this in mind, if you have noticed that the area behind your seawall has eroded, do not hesitate to make the call for an inspection. At Foam All, we offer free estimates! Your safety is our priority.
