WHAT IS REVIEWED
What we review
Visible seawall condition
Observable cracking, displacement, deterioration, and indications of soil movement are noted where visible.
Waterfront follow-up
The report helps identify concerns that merit further investigation or repair planning by an appropriate specialist.
What to know about the scope
A visual visit does not include underwater inspection, load-capacity certification, engineering design, or a guarantee of structural adequacy. Concealed or submerged components may need separate evaluation.
BEFORE THE VISIT
Before your inspection

ALL QUESTIONS WELCOME
Dock & Seawall Inspection
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.
Is a seawall inspection included with the home?
Request dock and seawall inspection separately so the accessible scope and quote can be confirmed.
Can this determine the seawall's remaining life?
Visible condition can identify concerns, but remaining life and structural adequacy cannot be established from a visual inspection alone.
