SEAWALL INSPECTION

What's Included in a Seawall Inspection

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

1. Our Seawall Inspectors 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, pilings, 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 structural components below land side or waterside grade.
6. Our Seawall Inspectors will 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. We may also recommend a dock inspection. Dock Inspections are separate price.
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 or Dock 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.

​The costs involved in repairing or replacing seawalls can be substantial.
