5 Seawall Inspection Tips for Tampa Bay Homeowners
DIY inspection checklist. What to look for, when to call a pro, and how to maintain your seawall.
What to check
Walk your seawall at low tide. Look for: 1) Cracks wider than 1/4 inch, 2) Rust stains on concrete (rebar corrosion), 3) Soil loss behind the wall, 4) Leaning or bulging sections, 5) Missing riprap. Any visible structural issue warrants a professional evaluation immediately.
