VERO BEACH, FLORIDA

Seawall Inspection Vero Beach

Seawall inspection in Vero Beach matters on a lagoon that Hurricane Nicole came ashore just south of in November 2022 (National Hurricane Center).

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We put Vero Beach owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who inspect lagoon walls.

Free inspection, findings in writing, no obligation.

Frances in 2004

Hurricane Frances pushed an estimated 8 feet of surge near Vero Beach in 2004. Walls of that age that took both storms deserve a close look at the cap and toe.

Permitting the fix

Repairs go through the City of Vero Beach Planning and Development compliance step, then the county building permit. Walls on the Indian River Lagoon need FDEP approval too (Sec. 72.46).

Why it matters

The lagoon buffer

The city keeps an upland buffer of at least 10 feet from the shoreline or seawall edge on the Indian River Lagoon (Sec. 72.43).

A free inspection tells you which one you are looking at.

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
