Seawall Inspection Fort Myers

Seawall inspection in Fort Myers matters because the code sets a clock: a shoreline structure that stops functioning must be repaired or removed within one year (LDC Sec. 132.1.4).

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We put Fort Myers owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who inspect river and canal walls.

Free inspection, findings in writing, no obligation.

After Ian

The downtown river gauge hit 7.26 feet above mean higher high water during Ian in 2022. Walls on the Caloosahatchee that were overtopped may have lost fill behind the cap without showing it from the water.

Why it matters

Permitting the fix

State and federal permits come first where needed, then the City of Fort Myers permit, with written consent from the owner of the river bottom.

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

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
