The primary causes are Redfish Pass and Captiva Pass tidal inlets creating strong current effects throughout the Captiva waterway network. Combined with remote barrier island sandy soils with Redfish Pass tidal inlet scour and post-Hurricane Ian structural damage, these forces accelerate void formation, panel cracking, and joint separation. Redfish Pass and Captiva Pass bracket Captiva Island, creating strong tidal inlet currents from both ends — one of the most hydraulically challenging seawall environments in Lee County.

Most Captiva seawall repairs using polyurethane injection or helical tiebacks are completed in 1–2 days. We schedule work around low tide windows for maximum access and accuracy.

Structural repairs including tieback installation and cap replacement require Lee County permits and may require DEP or Army Corps review for waterfront properties adjacent to Pine Island Sound and Redfish Pass. Polyurethane injection and maintenance repairs generally do not require permits. We handle all permitting coordination for major projects.

We recommend annual inspections for seawalls older than 20 years, plus inspection after every named storm event. Redfish Pass and Captiva Pass bracket Captiva Island, creating strong tidal inlet currents from both ends — one of the most hydraulically challenging seawall environments in Lee County. Early detection of voids and micro-cracks costs far less to address than waiting for visible structural failure.
