Protect your waterfront property and avoid costly repairs with professional inspections by our Florida-licensed engineer and licensed seawall contractor.
Why Seawall and Dock Inspections Are Essential
Waterfront structures like seawalls, docks, and pilings are major investments. Over time, they can develop:
-
- Structural cracks, deterioration, or breaks
- Soil erosion or footing instability affecting pools, landscaping, and property
- Damage from neighboring structures or environmental conditions, like the presence of sea moss
- Safety hazards for residents or visitors
Inspections help identify problems early, protect your investment, and provide cost estimates for maintenance or replacement before you purchase your home.

Seawall Inspection Process
Our licensed professionals perform a thorough inspection, including:
Structural Components:
We inspect the cap, tie-offs, wall panels, T-piles or batter piles, and footings
Soil and Drainage Assessment:
Soil settlement can affect pools or other property features. Drainage behind and through the seawall can damage other parts of your property. Sea moss or debris on the waterway floor can cause corrosion to the seawall.
Water & Property Conditions:
We check the water depth to determine how it interacts with your seawall. We also take note of neighboring seawall conditions to identify issues that could affect the integrity of your seawall.
Common Seawall Issues
Cracks or breaks in the cap, panels, or pilings | Leaning or unstable walls | Soil loss or erosion | Damage from neighboring seawalls | New high-cost dock installed over deteriorating seawall in need of replacement
