Erosion & Sediment Control
Erosion Repair
Heavy rain events and Florida's sandy soils combine to make erosion repair a recurring need on active construction sites. LES responds to rill and gully erosion, failed or undermined BMPs, and storm-damaged slopes with regrading, soil replacement, and reinstallation of erosion control measures — restoring the site to compliance and preventing repeat failure.
What’s Included
- Site assessment to identify the cause of erosion, not just the damage
- Regrading and soil replacement for rill and gully erosion
- Reinstallation of failed silt fence, check dams, and inlet protection
- Erosion control blanket and reseeding for damaged slopes
- Flow-diversion corrections to prevent repeat failure
Technical Notes
Effective erosion repair addresses the cause, not just the visible damage: a regraded gully without an upstream flow-diversion or armoring fix will simply re-erode in the next storm. LES evaluates the contributing drainage pattern before repairing the symptom.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can erosion repair happen after a storm?
Response time depends on site access and conditions, but post-storm repair is treated as a priority dispatch — the longer a failed BMP sits, the more sediment leaves the site and the more exposure to a compliance violation.
Will the same erosion just come back?
Not if the cause is addressed. LES evaluates the contributing flow path before repairing — regrading a gully without correcting the upstream concentration point that caused it usually leads to the same failure in the next rain event.
