Today\u2019s deep-dive is for every Florida waterfront and coastal homeowner worried about cracking caps, sinking pavers, or a seawall that\u2019s starting to lean. Our guest is Ken Bronlick of Groundworks\u2014a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and patent holder for an innovative seawall stabilization system that restores the backfill zone with single-component polyurethane resin, adds dewatering channels, and uses jet filters to balance hydrostatic pressure without washing out soil. We also hit the FEMA 50% rule, foundation settlement, helical tiebacks, corrosion inhibitors approved in U.S. Army Corps guide specs, realistic cost ranges, and the early warning signs your seawall is in trouble. What you\u2019ll learn Why traditional \u201cpump it full of concrete\u201d often makes failures worse How resin injections + jet filters re-establish shear strength and relieve pressure The simple homeowner checks: barnacles on weep holes, soil piles at joints, cap cracks that line up with panels, yellowing sod\/depressions, sinking pavers When repair buys time vs. when replacement is unavoidable Realistic costs: repair vs. full replacement\u2014and how fast emergency shoring can happen Foundation fixes beyond seawalls: helical\/piers, carbon fiber wraps, corrosion inhibitors FEMA 50% basics for flooded homes (what\u2019s realistic and who actually raises structures) Need help or an intro?
