Seawall Inspections

Almost all of the waterfront properties in South Florida (canal-front, bay-front, river-front) are protected by seawalls which were installed by the original developer or a marine contractor. Most of the original seawalls in South Florida are nearing the end of their useful lives or have been replaced.  Certified Inspectors is expert in problems with seawalls, and information regarding the repair and replacement of seawalls. In addition, our Certified Master Inspectors have extensive knowledge on how to prolong the useful life of a seawall, and thus postpone the expense of major repairs or replacement. ​​Call us at (561) 570-6311 to schedule an appointment to have your seawall inspected by one of our Certified Master Inspectors.

Whats Included on a Seawall Inspection?

Our Seawall Inspection is one of the most complete underwater inspections in the Market.  We inspect the following:

1. We will describe to you the type of Seawall or marine construction that you have.  T-Pile, Coral Rock, King Pile, Aluminum, or Wood Seawall.
2. We inspect the seawall components, including but not limited to, the seawall cap, bulkhead, panels, footings, and any other components which is visible from the land side of the structure. 
3. We inspect by walking the bottom or diving as well if required.
4. We take extensive photos and record underwater video of the seawall or dock to show you what we see in a report that you can access online.
   
5. We'll report on the evidence of structural deterioration, failure, or inadequacy in the seawall components below land side or waterside grade.
6. We may offer an opinion as to the structural adequacy, life expectancy, or expansion potential of any seawall but customers are advised to seek opinion in writing from a qualified marine engineer.
7. We WILL NOT dig or otherwise unearth tie-backs, anchors, retaining walls or seawall components below land side or waterside grade.  
8. We WILL NOT determine the capacity of boat lifts.
9. We WILL NOT inspect adjoining or contiguous seawall systems or storm sewers projecting through the bulkhead.
10. We DO NOT perform Seawall Repairs.  Therefore, rest assured that we have no interest in doing any work on your seawall.  In fact, people hire us to verify that their contractors did the work right.
