MIAMI, FLORIDA
Seawall Repair Miami
Seawall repair in Miami is built to Sec. 29-89: a 6 foot NAVD88 minimum on tidally influenced property, and 4 feet on the Miami River and its tributaries if the wall can be raised at least 2 more feet.
We connect Miami owners on Biscayne Bay and the river with licensed marine contractors who build to it.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
When a repair brings the whole wall up
Repairing half or more of the wall’s length, spending half the cost of a new wall, or changing the elevation along half the length counts as substantial. Then the full property length has to meet the minimum.
Miami River walls
River applications need a plan showing how the wall will be raised later, with load calculations, so it can keep pace with sea level through 2070.
Why it matters
What the City of Miami building permit needs
A signed and sealed survey less than a year old in NAVD88, a plot plan and construction details, bay-bottom title from the state, and preliminary county DERM approval (Secs. 29-84 and 29-85). Soil borings may be required.
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
