Seawall Inspection in Hollywood.
Fixed-fee seawall inspections in Hollywood, Florida, performed and sealed by a Florida-licensed structural engineer. You get a written report on structural condition, cap elevation, and what to do next, quoted before we arrive.
Know what your Hollywood seawall is doing before a buyer, lender, or storm asks.
An inspection turns a wall you cannot see into a document you can act on.
Most Hollywood owners have never had the wall under their yard examined by an engineer. They see the cap and a few cracks and assume the rest is fine. The structural story sits underneath: the condition of panels, whether tiebacks are intact, and whether the ground behind the wall is still where it was.
People usually call for an inspection for one of a few reasons: a sale or refinance, a change in insurance questions, a visible problem, or a letter from the city or an association. Each of those needs a document, and a sealed report is the one that carries weight.
A sealed report also settles disagreements. When a neighbor, an association, or a prospective buyer disputes what condition the wall is in, a dated document with measurements and photographs from a licensed engineer ends the argument with facts instead of opinions.
Cap elevation deserves its own line in any Hollywood report. The county and the city have set height standards for walls along tidal waterways, so an inspection that records where your cap actually sits, against the water level, gives you the number you need before planning any work.
Our engineer walks the full length of the wall, measures, photographs, and documents defects. The result feeds directly into a repair scope if you need one, through our seawall repair team, or simply goes into your file as a record of condition.

An inspection price you can read before you commit.
The fee is fixed and quoted ahead of the visit.
We quote a single fixed fee after you send the address and a bit about the wall, such as its approximate length and whether it fronts the Intracoastal, a lake, or a canal. There is no hourly meter and no per-foot add-on, and the quote does not change on site. If the site turns out to be materially different, we tell you before doing anything.
On older Hollywood lots, the first walk often finds that prior owners added patches, extensions, or cap toppings over the years. We document what is original and what was added, since a patched wall can behave differently from the one in the original drawings, and the next owner or contractor should know which is which.
The report is written for the people who will read it: owners, associations, lenders, and permit reviewers. It states conditions in plain terms and ranks what matters. When you are ready to act, our engineer-sealed reports and repair teams are already familiar with the wall.

It records the actual cap elevation along the wall so you can compare it against the county and city standards in effect. We flag a shortfall and explain what options exist.
The report is signed and sealed by a Florida-licensed structural engineer, which is what buyers, lenders, insurers, and associations generally ask for. Tell us who will read it and we will make sure the findings answer their questions.
We examine what is visible above the waterline and probe the wall face and the ground behind it. If the engineer sees reason for deeper investigation, the report says so and describes the next step.
Yes. We can inspect the wall, document its condition, and prepare a response plan. If repair is needed, we can also provide the proposal. See our violation response service.
A single residential lot is typically a fraction of a day. Longer walls, condominium frontages, and walls with limited access take longer, and we state the expected time when we quote the fixed fee.
