The primary causes are Murrells Inlet tidal exchange creating active current flow through the restaurant district and residential waterway. Combined with Georgetown County tidal marsh soils with active commercial and residential seawall needs along the inlet, these forces accelerate void formation, panel cracking, and joint separation. Murrells Inlet's tidal flow supports one of South Carolina's most active waterfront restaurant and boating districts — commercial seawall maintenance here is essential to continued operations.

Most Murrells Inlet 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.

We recommend annual inspections for seawalls older than 20 years, plus inspection after every named storm event.
