PROTECT YOUR MIAMI WATERFRONT PROPERTY BEFORE DAMAGE ESCALATES — TRUSTED BY HOMEOWNERS AND INVESTORS

Engineer Certified Seawall Inspections for Miami Properties

We offer professional seawall inspections in Miami tailored to the unique conditions of the Intracoastal and surrounding waterways. Each inspection is conducted by licensed engineers who thoroughly evaluate the structure, document every finding, and deliver an easy-to-understand report with recommendations. Whether for maintenance, insurance, or real estate purposes, we provide clarity and confidence.

Why Seawall Inspections Matter in Miami

Miami’s coastlines experience strong tidal forces, frequent boat wakes, saltwater corrosion, and storm impacts that gradually weaken seawalls.

Even a solid structure can shift, crack, or deteriorate over time. Scheduling inspections is the most effective way to protect your home, avoid emergencies, and extend the life of your seawall.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Cory 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!!!!
