Licensed, insured marine contractors serving Fort Myers Beach
Fort Myers Beach was among the hardest-hit areas in Hurricane Ian. Bayside canal seawalls and bulkheads here often need significant repair or replacement as properties rebuild, and permitting can involve additional coastal requirements.
How seawall jobs typically go in Fort Myers Beach
- Inspection. A marine contractor checks the cap, panels, seams, weep holes, backfill, and tiebacks, often with a look at the canal side from a boat or at low tide.
- Repair or replace. Small cracks, cap spalling, and seam leaks can usually be repaired. A wall that's leaning, rotating, or failing at the toe may need a vinyl or concrete overlay, new tiebacks, or full replacement.
- Permits. Most structural seawall work requires a permit from the local building department and sometimes state or federal approvals. Your contractor should handle the paperwork.
- Construction. Barge or land-side access depends on the job. Ask how they'll protect your dock, lift, pool cage, and landscaping.
Signs to watch for
- Sinkholes or depressions in the yard behind the wall
- Cracks or gaps along panel seams, or soil washing out at low tide
- A cap that's cracked, spalled, or has exposed rebar
- The wall leaning toward the canal
