Seawall Repair in Lighthouse Point, FL

Seawalls in Lighthouse Point

Lighthouse Point is a small city built around boating. A large share of its homes sit on canals that open to the Intracoastal Waterway, close to the Hillsboro Inlet and the ocean. Many owners keep sizable boats behind their homes, which puts extra demands on seawalls, docks and pilings.

Typical issues here include cap cracking and spalling, panel joints that leak soil, tieback problems that let walls lean, and dock pilings worn at the waterline. Because seawall and dock work are so closely linked in Lighthouse Point, it often makes sense to plan them together.

Permits and elevation in Lighthouse Point

Structural seawall and dock work generally needs a city building permit, and work in tidal water can also require Broward County environmental review. Broward County's regional tidal flood barrier standard calls for new and substantially repaired walls to reach 5 feet NAVD88, with a 4 foot option for applications before 2035 when the wall is designed to be raised later. Confirm the exact rule for your address with the City of Lighthouse Point or your contractor.
