When it comes to protecting Florida’s waterfront properties, seawalls play a vital role in keeping erosion and flood damage at bay. Over time, though, these structures are put to the test—weather, water pressure, and soil movement all take their toll. That’s where advanced repair methods like AV-275 Soilgrout come in.
At All State Civil Construction, one of the most effective tools in our repair toolkit is AV-275 Soilgrout, a high-performance urethane resin that helps restore stability behind compromised seawalls. Whether you’re noticing soil loss, cracks in the concrete, or water pooling behind your wall, this specialized solution may be exactly what your property needs.
What Is AV-275 Soilgrout?
AV-275 Soilgrout is a single-component, water-activated polyurethane resin used to fill voids, seal leaks, and stabilize soil behind seawalls and other underground structures. It reacts with water to form a dense, impermeable foam that expands into cracks, gaps, and soft soil zones. Once it cures, it creates a strong barrier that blocks water intrusion and prevents further soil erosion.
Unlike traditional repair materials, AV-275 is designed to move through the same pathways water does—tracking leaks and damaged zones to find the root of the problem.
How Does It Work?
The process begins with a detailed inspection to identify the affected areas. Once located, small holes are drilled behind or along the base of the seawall, and the AV-275 resin is injected into the ground. As it makes contact with moisture in the soil, it expands and hardens, filling any hidden voids or channels that have formed due to erosion or washout.
This process does more than just plug leaks—it restores soil strength, stabilizes the surrounding ground, and supports the structure from behind. The material’s expanding nature allows it to reach areas that would be impossible to access with traditional patching methods.
When Is AV-275 Soilgrout Recommended?
This method is particularly useful when:
- You see soil erosion or sinkholes forming behind your seawall
- There’s water leaking through the wall or pooling near the base
- You want to strengthen the soil without removing or replacing the entire structure
- Your seawall is still structurally sound, but showing signs of internal pressure or stress
It’s also a preferred choice in situations where time, budget, or environmental disruption must be minimized. Because the material cures quickly and doesn’t require large-scale excavation, repairs can be completed efficiently—often in a single day.
Why It’s a Smart Investment
Using AV-275 Soilgrout can extend the life of your seawall by years, saving you from more expensive replacements. It offers a long-term solution to erosion-related problems and is ideal for property owners looking to reinforce their seawall before hurricane season or during routine maintenance.
Best of all, it helps protect your property’s foundation, landscaping, and overall value. Left untreated, erosion behind a seawall can lead to uneven ground, flooded yards, and even compromised buildings.
