We put Oakland Park owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who inspect walls on the Middle River and Cypress Creek.

Free inspection, findings in writing, no obligation.

What the code presumes

A wall that lets tidal water through or over it is presumed in disrepair. A citation gives 60 days to show progress and 365 days to finish, and tidal water on a neighbor’s lot is a public nuisance.

Why it matters

Height against ground

The city’s average ground elevation is about 5.89 feet NAVD88. An inspection that measures your cap against the 4 and 5 foot standards tells you how much headroom is left.

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
