WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA
Seawall Inspection West Palm Beach
Seawall inspection in West Palm Beach decides more than the repair: for development in the coastal area, city code allows shoreline hardening only where erosion is a threat to life and property and vegetation has failed (Sec. 94-378).
We put West Palm Beach owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who document what the wall is doing.
Free inspection, findings in writing, no obligation.
What a good report shows
Erosion behind the cap, cracked panels, failing tiebacks and scour at the toe, with photos and measurements. That record supports the permit if replacement is needed.
Permits after the inspection
Repairs go to the City of West Palm Beach building department, with DEP, Army Corps or SFWMD approval first. On the Lake Worth Lagoon, the city wants any replacement to include sloping rip-rap with plants.
Why it matters
The lagoon
The Lake Worth Lagoon runs 20 miles from North Palm Beach to Ocean Ridge and takes water from flood control canals including the C-51, according to Palm Beach County.

You get a written scope and estimate. No obligation, no trip fee.
