CORAL GABLES, FLORIDA
Seawall Repair Coral Gables
Seawall repair in Coral Gables is built to Zoning Code Sec. 3-706: a 6 foot minimum on the older NGVD datum, strong enough to support a 7.5 foot wall later.
We connect Gables owners on Biscayne Bay and the canals with licensed marine contractors who build to it.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Materials
Walls must be reinforced, pre-stressed or gravity mass concrete, designed by a Florida registered engineer. Concrete block or native stone is allowed only west of LeJeune Road and north of Sunset Road.
Permits
Repairs need Miami-Dade DERM’s Class I permit and a City of Coral Gables building permit. On Biscayne Bay, the state preserve requires rip-rap with any new or replaced wall.
Why it matters
Converting the datum
NGVD sits about 1.55 feet off NAVD88 in Miami-Dade, according to the county. Ask the engineer to state both numbers in the scope.
What a free inspection includes
A contractor comes to your property, looks at the structure above and below the waterline where needed, and tells you what is actually happening.
You get a written scope and estimate. No obligation, no trip fee.
- On-site assessment of the structure and surrounding soil
- Photos and a plain-English explanation of the problem
- Written estimate with scope and materials
- Repair versus replacement guidance where both are options
