Frequently Asked Questions
Common signs include visible cracks, leaning or bowing walls, soil erosion behind the wall, rust stains, or water seeping through the structure. If you notice any of these, it’s time for an inspection.
Many seawalls can be repaired if damage is caught early, such as cracks or minor erosion. However, severe structural failure or extensive degradation may require replacement.
We recommend inspecting your seawall annually and after severe storms to catch early signs of wear or damage.
