Seawall Inspections in Fort Lauderdale
Who asks for a seawall inspection
- Buyers who want to know what they are taking on before closing

What an inspection usually covers
The inspector looks at the cap, the panels and joints, the area behind the wall for settlement or sinkholes, and the face of the wall from the water side, ideally at low tide. Some inspections also look at tiebacks, the toe of the wall and nearby docks. The result is a written description of condition and recommended next steps.
Elevation checks
In Fort Lauderdale, an inspection can also note how the top of the wall compares with the tidal flood barrier standard, which matters if a future repair could trigger it. A survey may be needed for an exact elevation.

Seawall Inspections questions
How long does a seawall inspection take?
A single home's wall is often a short visit. Long runs of wall for an HOA or condo take longer and may be done in sections. Timing for the visit is set with the contractor.
Is a seawall inspection required when selling a home?
Not as a general rule, but buyers, lenders and insurers often ask about seawall condition. A written report can make those conversations easier.
Should I inspect after a hurricane?
It is a good idea after a strong storm or very high tides, especially if you see new settling, cracks or debris against the wall.
