West Palm Beach, FL Seawall Repair

Like many coastal towns and cities this area has hundreds of miles of seawalls. Seawalls are designed to protect property from water damage brought on by wind, rain, storms waves, and tidal swings. Florida Seawall Solutions repairs seawalls in West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, and Lake Worth. Seawall repair is necessary to help keep homes and businesses safe from the elements.

Inspecting a seawall doesn't take long and should be done at least twice per year. Catching an erosion problem early can save a home or business owner lots of money in repair or replacement. Inspect the wall for cracks in both the cap and the panels. Look for signs of rust stains on the cement around any cracks as this is a sign that the rebar may be compromised by water intrusion and is a sure sign that this problem could easily get worse. 

Look to the bottom of the seawall on the water side if possible; specifically, look for soil deposits where the seawall seams meet the bottom of the panels. If you see soil or sand deposits here, they could be signs of erosion from behind the wall. From here, inspect the property along the top of the wall for small sinkholes and dips in the yard. This could be where the soil deposits along the bottom of the seawall are coming from. This is often just the beginning of bigger erosion problems to come. 

These are the types of seawall problems Florida Seawall Solutions specializes in. FSS can fill in these voids in the soil and seal the cracks or seams in the wall preventing it from eroding away leaving your seawall 'freestanding' (no longer anchored to the property).
