Professional Seawall Inspections in South Florida
Why Seawall Inspections Matter
Don’t Let Small Issues Turn Into Major Problems
Seawalls protect your home, dock, and property from erosion, flooding, and tidal impact. But over time, they wear down—especially in Florida’s harsh marine environment. A professional inspection ensures your structure is safe, up to code, and functioning properly.
We provide certified inspections for:
- Property owners noticing signs of damage
- Real estate transactions and seawall certifications
- Insurance claims or documentation
- Pre-renovation planning or repairs
Our Inspections Cover All Critical Structural Elements
- 1. Seawall Bowing, Leaning, Or Sliding – Indicates structural overload
- 2. Upland Hole Formations & Subsidence – Soil eroding into waterway
- 3. Concrete Corrosion, Stains, Cracks, And Spalling – Caused by salt-water exposure
- 4. Standing Water – Sign of clogged weep holes or drainage
- 5. Undermining – Erosion at seawall toe destabilizes structutre

It was a pleasure working with Cory - I typically refrain from providing personal recommendations as it places me in a challenging position- But when you work with someone that is great- I feel I must thank and praise him as an engineer for my seawall report. It was truly a pleasure working with Cory. I highly recommend Cory as an engineer for all your waterway engineering needs.

June 1, 2025I strongly recommend Florida Waterway Engineering. Not only Cory was a great professional, but he is a great person with whom to work. Additionally, he has been helpful going the extra mile when necessary. It is my hope that Cory is successful in his business… I can’t imagine otherwise. Until next project Cory!

June 1, 2025Cory Nelson is a very smart engineer, who solved a marine dock issue that I had, with accuracy in calculating the exact numbers, to pass the strict city of Fort Myers inspections. I was extremely happy with his expertise, honesty and dedication to his work! I highly recommend him to my family, friends and everyone who needs an Honest and Smart Engineer!!!!

Cory with FWE was an absolute pleasure to work with. I had to permit a dock and lift after the fact and Cory made it stress free and seamless. Him and his team of permit expediters were extremely knowledgeable of the process. 10/10 would highly recommend.
