Seawall Repair Frequently Asked Questions

  • We observe several key factors that contribute to seawall deterioration along the Connecticut shoreline:

    • Seasonal Erosion: Continuous degradation occurs through the changing seasons.

    • Weather Impact: Damage is often emphasized by severe weather events.

    • Maintenance Shortfalls: Insufficient upkeep can lead to significant structural issues.

    • Inspection Deficiency: Without regular assessments, early signs of seawall damage can go unnoticed, leading to expensive repairs.

    • Erosion and Washouts: Erosion, the formation of sinkholes, and occasional washouts undermine wall stability.

    • Drainage Problems: Ineffective drainage can lead to expensive seawall failure.

    • Structural Fractures: Minor cracks can expand if not promptly addressed.

    • Catastrophic Events: Seawalls are also vulnerable to damage from natural disasters.

    It is critical to repair seawall concrete properly in any situation where a problem could occur. Not doing so is one of the most common reasons for continued problems.
