Why Seawall Inspections Are Important in West Palm Beach
West Palm Beach’s prime waterfront location along the Intracoastal makes seawalls especially vulnerable to ongoing stress from daily tides, saltwater corrosion, heavy boat wakes, and hurricane impacts.
Even a solid wall can deteriorate over time. Routine inspections are the best way to detect problems before they require costly seawall repair in West Palm Beach, keeping your property safe and secure for years to come.

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.
