Seawall Inspection in Pompano Beach.
Sealed, fixed-fee seawall inspections for Pompano Beach homes, associations, and commercial waterfront. A Florida-licensed structural engineer examines the wall and writes a report that tells you what you have and what to do about it.
An inspection is the cheapest way to learn what a canal wall is hiding.
It costs far less to find a problem than to be surprised by one.
Pompano Beach has a long list of waterfront properties with walls that nobody has formally evaluated: canal-front houses that changed hands several times, small apartment buildings, marinas, and condominium associations that inherited a wall with the land. The wall may be fine. Without a trained eye on it, nobody knows.
An engineer looks at what an owner cannot. Hairline cracks that signal rebar corrosion, panel joints that have opened by a fraction of an inch, a cap that no longer sits level, and the subtle slumps in the ground behind the wall that point to soil loss.
A sealed inspection is also a sensible first step for anyone buying a canal home in the area. The purchase contract may leave little time, so tell us the deadline when you call and we will schedule the visit and issue the report around it.
Inspections here are also practical protection. The city can act on seawalls that present a hazard or contribute to erosion into the canal, so a documented condition record shows you are paying attention, and an early finding gives you time to plan and budget a repair on your schedule.
If the report finds trouble, our seawall repair crews already understand the wall because the same firm wrote the findings. That removes the usual gap between a report and a bid.
The deliverable, section by section.
A bound report signed by the engineer, not a checklist.
- Walk-through of the complete wall length
- Condition notes for each panel and cap section
- Documentation of cracks, spalls, and exposed steel
- Evaluation of the canal bank and upland settlement
- Check of weep holes and surface drainage
- Observations on dock and lift attachments
- Overall condition rating
- Prioritized recommendations
- Photographs and sealed PDF
Scheduled around your tide and your calendar, not ours.
Canal walls are easiest to read at lower water.
Where a wall is partly submerged at high tide, we plan the visit for lower water so more of the face is visible. We coordinate access with the owner, the property manager, or a boat-slip tenant, and we confirm the date in advance. The visit itself typically takes a fraction of a day for a single residential lot.
If the property has a boat lift, davits, or a floating dock tied to the wall, we look at how those loads reach the structure. Attachments that were bolted through a cap years ago are a common hidden cause of cracking, and the report identifies them so they can be reworked during any future repair.
Once the visit is complete, the report follows quickly, and if you need it for a closing or an insurance review we prioritize accordingly. Read about the wider service on our seawall inspection page, or see the engineer-sealed reports we issue.
Keep a copy of the sealed report with your closing papers, insurance file, and maintenance records. Wall reports are most useful when they can be found years later by whoever owns or manages the property next.

Frequently asked questions
It is a single fixed fee, quoted before we mobilize. We do not bill hourly or by the foot. Call 877-420-7220 with the property address and we will confirm the number.
Usually yes. Most of the structural evaluation is done from the top of the wall and the upland side. If access to the face is limited, the report notes what could not be seen.
Not unless you have received a notice or are seeking a permit. A sealed report is still the document of choice if the city, a buyer, or an insurer asks about the wall.
Yes. We inspect commercial and multifamily seawalls and provide a report suited to the property manager and board.
The report ranks the findings by urgency and describes the repair path. You can use it with any contractor, or ask us for a fixed-fee repair proposal.
Yes. Owners and property managers are welcome to walk the wall with the engineer, ask questions, and point out anything they have noticed. It often helps us understand the history of the wall.
Any cracks, rust stains, standing water, or sunken ground you have noticed, with a date on each. Photographs from before the visit help the engineer see how a condition has changed, and they cost nothing to gather. Send them with the address if you can.
