If your property is waterside, then the integrity of your seawall is crucial for the overall health of your home. The purpose of a seawall is to protect your property from erosion by rivers or streams, ponds, lakes, or the ocean.
Ignoring seawall problems can have dangerous ramifications to the structural integrity of your seawall and can even result in complete failure. Some might suggest replacing the seawall entirely but this method is time-consuming, expensive, and often requires the removal of structures near the seawall. Ineffective methods such as hydraulic cement, slurry, sodium silicate, and crushed seashells can be quick fixes but fail to be a permanent solution.
Ram Jack West is a proud member of the Seawall Repair Network, using advanced technologies to completely restore the structural integrity of your seawall.
Not all repair methods and seawall companies are the same. Some contractors often end up making the problem worse by installing inferior repair materials like hydraulic cement, slurry, sodium silicate, and crushed seashells. These repair methods are not only ineffective but also potentially dangerous. They can lead to further damage and even more expensive repairs in the future if not taken care of now. The problem with these solutions is that they do not address the underlying issue of why your seawall failed in the first place - which is unstable soil surrounding your seawall.
Ram Jack provides the most effective proprietary seawall repair material, with advanced training in Seawall Repair Network product and solution application methods.
Watch the video below to learn more about the causes of seawall failure and how to fix it with the most advanced seawall repair system.
If your seawall is experiencing signs of failure, contact Ram Jack West to schedule an on-site inspection with a seawall repair specialist! During the evaluation, we will inspect your seawall to get a better understanding of the situation. We will then walk through all of your options and, together we will find a solution that works best for you and your property.
Our Ram Jack seawall repair specialists are thorough and professional during every inspection. We will never recommend anything outside of the scope of your genuine needs.
On seawall repair projects of all scopes and sizes, ensuring environmental safety is mission-critical. That’s why Seawall Repair Network®‘s SW-RP1 high-strength repair material has the official NSF seal of approval for contact with drinking water.
Once SW-RP1 permeates the soil and cures, it forms a mass that is stronger than bedrock and lasts for a lifetime.
Seawall Repair Network®‘s advanced rehab methods and materials require minimal equipment and minimal disruption of property. Most repairs can be completed in a day.
Ignoring the problem is the most dangerous option. Scroll up and look at the top of this page again for a quick reminder. The problem will grow and the longer you wait, the more expensive the repair.
Does heavy equipment tearing up your property sound like fun? Replacing a seawall can require the removal of nearby boardwalks, boat lifts, and other nearby structures. This can be messy, time consuming and expensive!
Despite their popularity, ineffective solutions such as hydraulic cement, slurry, crushed seashells, and sodium silicate do not address the underlying soil instability that puts unsustainable pressure on the seawall. These methods are similar to putting a band-aid on an infection. The problem will simply continue to get worse until the seawall fails completely.
SW-RP1 seawall repair material is stronger than crystalline bedrock. Proprietary pressure release technology, which automatically prevents devastating water pressure from building up behind your seawall. Seawall cap and panel repair with high-strength epoxy. This process restores stability and integrity to the structure. Advanced permanent anchoring systems when they are needed for additional structural support.

Each waterfront property, structure, and environment provide unique challenges and require appropriate repair and remediation procedures. Ram Jack West is a preferred marine contractor and will create a custom repair plan for your seawall. The Seawall Repair Network® advantage is the SW-RP1 repair material. SW-RP1 does not care what your seawall is made of, and does not care what type of seawall you have. This material will permanently bond to, seal, and stabilize your seawall regardless of type.
Repairs leaking cracks in the seawall. Stabilizes surrounding soil. Permanently strengthens and repairs soil damage. Prevents future erosion. Stronger than crystalline bedrock. Safe for the environment.
Automatically removes any future water that builds up behind the seawall. Unchecked water build-up causes hydrostatic pressure which cracks and damages even the strongest seawalls.
Employ high-strength epoxy and concrete repair materials. This process restores strength and integrity to the structure.
When needed, steel tie-backs are installed to prevent future movement of the seawall in high-risk sections. The tie-backs lock into load-bearing solid soil behind the wall.

Concrete is chemically formed through a process known as hydration/curing. Concrete deteriorates chemically under the influence of soil, water, and air-born contaminants, weathering action, and corrosion of the embedded steel reinforcement. Seawall Repair Network® offers a complete solution to prevent, restore, and protect steel reinforced concrete by modifying its chemical and physical properties. By restoring the properties of your seawall’s existing concrete (as opposed to replacing it) Seawall Repair Network®‘s preservation system provides cost and time savings, while limiting disturbance to surrounding structures and property. These materials are environmentally safe and are intended for use in marine environments.
SW-Prevent penetrates concrete and inhibits corrosion of steel inside the wall. This material penetrates as vapor to deposit on steel components such as rebar or mesh inside. Corrosion is prevented by creating an insulating layer on the surface of the steel.
SW-Power is a penetrating material primarily designed to reduce concrete porosity, increase strength and render concrete surfaces resistant to air or water-born chemical damage. SW-Power provides additional protection by supporting ideal pH levels in the concrete to prevent rebar corrosion.
SW-Protect inhibits water penetration in concrete. Surfaces treated with SW-Protect will repel water, dirt, and grime – helping keep your concrete clean and free of mold, stains and discoloration. SW-Protect is not susceptible to UV degradation, providing a durable long-term protection to all porous surfaces.
