Seawall Inspection
Above- and below-waterline evaluations that catch erosion, cracking, and panel failure before they become expensive emergencies.
Call (561) 555-0147A seawall works quietly for decades and fails quietly too — most structural problems start below the waterline where a homeowner never looks. Our inspections combine a visual survey of the cap, panels, and returns with a below-water check of the toe and any visible tieback hardware, so you know exactly what condition your wall is in before it becomes a five-figure emergency.
We provide inspections for homeowners buying or selling waterfront property, HOAs managing shared seawalls, and property owners who simply want a baseline before hurricane season.
Signs You May Need This Service
- Cracks, spalling, or exposed rebar along the cap or panels
- Soil settling, sinking, or void areas in the yard near the wall
- Visible tilting, bulging, or leaning sections of the wall
- Water seeping through or trickling behind the wall at low tide
- A wall older than 25–30 years that has never been evaluated
- You're buying, selling, or refinancing a waterfront property
Our Process
Site walk & history review
We walk the full length of the wall, note construction type (concrete, vinyl, or riprap), and ask about any past repairs or known trouble spots.
Above-water survey
We check the cap, panels, expansion joints, and return walls for cracking, spalling, corrosion staining, and separation.
Below-water & soil check
We probe the toe of the wall and look for soil loss, voids, or scour behind the panels that signal erosion is already underway.
Written report & recommendations
You get a plain-language report with photos, a condition rating, and — if needed — a repair scope and budget range, with no pressure to act immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a seawall be inspected?
We recommend a professional inspection every 3–5 years for walls under 20 years old, and annually for walls over 30 years old or in areas with heavy boat traffic and tidal action.
Can you inspect a seawall before I buy a waterfront home?
Yes. Pre-purchase inspections are one of our most common requests. We turn around a written report quickly so it can be used in negotiations or due diligence.
Do you inspect vinyl and riprap in addition to concrete?
Yes — our inspections cover concrete, vinyl sheet pile, and riprap/rock revetment shorelines throughout Palm Beach County.
