Dock & Seawall Inspection Tampa
The #1 destroyer of homes is water. Docks, especially in Florida, are highly susceptible to water and wind from hurricanes and the ocean. Often times during the transaction process, they are unmaintained and are costly to repair.
Extend the Lifespan of Your Seawall with Regular Maintenance
These inspections can look for damage and defects both above and below the waterline. Be sure to quantify the scope of work that may be provided by the contractor. The features most typically included in these packages are:
- Wave overtopping
- Composition
- Beach scour
- Table levels
- Crest level
- Toe level
- Structural integrity
- Seawall Cap
- Bulkhead
- Panels
- Pilings
- Footings
Why Is It Important to Inspect?
Seawalls are your barrier against the ocean, rivers, and moisture. If seawalls are worn, soil erodes, and your home can move/shift. Moving and shifting in a home can cause thousands of dollars in structural repairs.
At this time, we only inspect the dock and seawalls with a home inspection. Our dock and seawall inspections are from the ground level only. We do not dive into the water.
What's Included
Structure
We inspect the general structure of the seawall and dock. We include our recommendations to extend the life and report on the condition.
Electric
Does your dock have a boat lift? If it does not have a boat on it, we will operate the boat lift and test all electric to ensure it is safe.
Boat Lifts
We inspect boat lifts for operation and condition. This means examining the cables, motor, and other components.
Plumbing
Do you have plumbing near your dock? We test operation, how it's plumbed, and general condition of the system.
Seawall Breakdown
The seawall can be broken down into the condition of the cap, wall, evidence of erosion or repairs, and other items.

We will inspect for safety, the pilings, decay, wraps, and the overall condition including evidence of previous repairs.
