Seawall Jet Filter Installation in
St. Clair Shores, Algonac, Clay Township, Harrison Township, New Baltimore and surrounding areas
What Does a Seawall Jet Filter Do?
A seawall doesn't only deal with pressure coming from the water. Groundwater and rain runoff can collect in the soil behind the wall, creating pressure on the land side of the structure.
A seawall jet filter system provides a controlled way for water behind the seawall to drain through the structure while helping prevent the surrounding soil from washing out. By managing drainage, jet filters can become an important part of a complete approach to seawall protection.
Verbeke Contracting installs seawall jet filters as part of new seawall construction, repair, and maintenance projects throughout Southeast Michigan. If you're unsure whether your existing seawall has adequate drainage, we can evaluate the property and discuss your options.
Signs Your Seawall May Have a Drainage Problem
Drainage concerns aren't always obvious at first. Changes around the seawall and nearby ground may indicate that the property needs professional attention.
Watch for signs such as:
- Soft or consistently wet soil near the seawall
- Water pooling behind the wall
- Soil settlement or changes near the shoreline
- Visible cracks or movement in the seawall
- Soil washing out from behind or through the structure
- Changes that become more noticeable after heavy rainfall or high-water conditions

What Michigan Property Owners Ask About Jet Filter Systems
What is a seawall jet filter?
A jet filter is a drainage component that allows water behind a seawall to pass through in a controlled manner while helping prevent soil from washing through with it.
Does every seawall need jet filters?
Not necessarily. The appropriate drainage solution depends on the seawall and property conditions. An assessment can help determine what may be appropriate.
Can jet filters be added to an existing seawall?
Jet filters may be installed as part of new construction or certain seawall repair and maintenance projects. We can evaluate your existing wall to determine your options.
Will jet filters cause soil to wash through my seawall?
Jet filters are intended to allow water to pass while helping retain the soil behind the structure.
