Dock & Seawall Inspection in Palm Beach County
An inspection gives you a baseline before problems get expensive. It's especially worth getting before buying a waterfront home, after a hurricane, or when you notice movement.
What is usually checked
- Cap: cracks, spalling, exposed rebar, alignment
- Panels and joints: open joints, cracks at the waterline, toe condition (sometimes checked by a diver)
- Tiebacks and anchors, plus signs of rotation
- Soil behind the wall: voids, settlement, drainage and weep holes
- Dock: pilings, framing, decking, fasteners, boat lift attachment
Cost
HomeGuide puts a seawall inspection at roughly $200–$600 per visit, depending on whether it includes underwater diving. It suggests periodic checks every 5–6 years and at real-estate transactions (HomeGuide, "Seawall Cost" (accessed Oct 2026)). Some local providers advertise flat residential inspection fees. Ask what's included and whether you'll get a written report.
