DESTIN, FLORIDA
Seawall Inspection Destin
Seawall inspection in Destin gives you time, because a seawall repair here goes through Harbor and Waterways Board review, preliminary and final City Council approval, and state and federal permits before construction (Destin LDC Sec. 11.05.02).
We put Destin owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who inspect harbor and bay walls.
Free inspection, findings in writing, no obligation.
What to look for
Cracks along the cap, open joints between panels, soil loss behind the wall and any lean toward Destin Harbor or Choctawhatchee Bay. Finding them early lets the approvals run before the wall gets worse.
Why it matters
Costs to plan for
Work within Destin Harbor carries a fee of 25% of construction cost for net positive environmental benefit (LDC Sec. 11.05.02.N). Once Council gives final approval, the building permit must be pulled within a year or the approval expires.
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
