NOAA's Charleston tide gauge shows relative sea level rising about 1.38 inches per decade since records began in 1901. This rise has dramatically increased the frequency and severity of king tide flooding events, subjecting the city's older seawalls to water contact they were never designed to experience. Since July 2024, coastal permits have been handled by the SC Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) Bureau of Coastal Management, and normal maintenance and repair may not need a critical area permit.
We serve waterfront properties along the Ashley River, the Cooper River, Charleston Harbor, the Intracoastal Waterway, and tidal creeks. Service areas include Downtown peninsula, James Island, Daniel Island. Call 866-398-9323 for a free on-site inspection at your specific address.

Under the SC Beachfront Management Act, new oceanfront seawalls are banned - work focuses on bulkheads, riprap and living shorelines on the Intracoastal and tidal creeks
We manage all permit coordination for Charleston projects — call 866-398-9323.
Strong harbor and river tidal current; aging tidal-creek bulkheads; oceanfront seawalls are banned so work is Intracoastal/creek-side.

Docks, piers and boat lifts that have started to settle are covered under marine foundation repair in Charleston. If waves keep chewing at the base of your wall or an open bank, riprap installation around Charleston describes how placed stone softens that energy. Existing stone slopes need care too, and revetment maintenance in Charleston covers inspecting and resetting them.

"Our Cooper River seawall was original to the 1980s house and the base was badly eroded. Solid Foundations injected polyurethane, installed tiebacks on the two worst sections, and the whole job was done in a day and a half. Excellent work."
