Photo Album: Sea Wall Stabilization in Venice, FL

Frank D. from Venice, Florida was growing concerned as his sea wall in the backyard started to lean, crack, and become unstable. Afraid for it's collapse, he called LRE Foundation Repair for a solution to his problem. Upon inspection, LRE was able to determine that rising storm waters, coupled with shifting and washed out soils were mainly to blame and designed a remediation system that entailed using GeoLock Wall Anchors. This anchor system permanently stabilized the wall and was even able to straighten it back to almost its original state. GeoLock anchors are made of steel and embedded into stable soils. For this project, the anchors were also connected to steel anchors on the wall with long, galvanized rods that are tightened to straighten and stabilize further. The homeowner was thrilled with the finished product and finally able to rest easy knowing his sea wall was not going anywhere.
