Seawall Inspection Miami
Seawall inspection in Miami gets ahead of Sec. 29-95, which presumes a wall is in disrepair if soil erodes, material passes through or tidal water flows onto neighbors or the street.
We put Miami owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who inspect walls on the bay and the river.
Free inspection, findings in writing, no obligation.
The deadlines after a citation
Within 180 days, hire a licensed contractor and apply for a building permit. Start repairs within 18 months and finish, permits closed, within 24 months. Owners who meet the deadlines get full mitigation of fines.
Why it matters
Hardship and variances
An owner ordered to repair can ask for relief by showing extreme financial hardship. An elevation variance is possible where the wall still keeps water off the street and neighbors, including to allow safe docking at a single-family home.
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
