Why Seawall Inspections Are Important in Pompano Beach
Located on Florida’s southeastern coast, Pompano Beach’s marine environment exposes seawalls to constant pressure from tides, saltwater corrosion, and boat wake erosion. Over time, this can lead to structural damage that threatens your property value and safety.
Our seawall inspections help identify:
- • Early signs of deterioration or foundation failure
- • Drainage issues causing soil loss or erosion
- • Structural movement, bowing, or cracks
- • Undermining or washout from tidal activity
- • Compliance gaps with local building codes or FEMA flood requirements

- • High-resolution photo documentation
