Salt water steadily corrodes the steel tie rods and rebar embedded in Fort Lauderdale's older seawall systems. Heavy boat traffic in the Fort Lauderdale Marina area generates constant wake-wash that accelerates the erosion of backfill sand. Since March 2023, Fort Lauderdale requires new seawalls, walls damaged over 50%, and walls low enough to flood neighbors or roads to reach 5 ft NAVD88, with one year to comply after a citation.
We serve waterfront properties along the Intracoastal Waterway, New River, and the 'Venice of America' canal network through the Las Olas Isles. Service areas include Las Olas Isles, Rio Vista, Harbor Beach, Coral Ridge, Sunrise Key. Call 866-398-9323 for a free on-site inspection at your specific address.

Sea-level rise and king-tide overtopping (the reason for Broward's 5 ft standard) leave older Isles seawalls under-height; narrow-canal boat wake and saltwater corrosion crack aging caps and tie-rods.

Walls that have started to tip or bulge are the focus of Fort Lauderdale seawall reinforcement. When a dock, pier or boat lift is sinking or shifting, see Fort Lauderdale marine foundation repair. To slow wave scour at the toe of a wall or along a natural bank, read about Fort Lauderdale riprap installation. Stone slopes that have slumped or thinned out are covered in Fort Lauderdale revetment maintenance.

New walls, docks and piers are covered on our Fort Lauderdale marine construction page.
If voids or soil loss behind the wall are the issue, our page on polyurethane injection explains how that method works. When you are ready to talk about your own wall, get in touch with our team.
"Three estimates, and Solid Foundations was the only company that correctly diagnosed the void behind our wall rather than just recommending replacement. The polyurethane injection took one day and cost $14,000 vs. the $65,000 quote for replacement. Five stars."
