A seawall inspection in Boca Raton is $250 for a home and $350 for a multi-family or commercial property, with the lender-required documentation included. Boca permits seawalls under its Chapter 22 marine structures code and requires permit plans to show the top-of-cap elevation, but we have not confirmed a minimum height for the city, so our inspection is about the wall's condition, which is what a lender asks for anyway.
Seawalls on Lake Boca and the canals
Lake Boca Raton walls take tidal flow from the inlet and heavy oyster growth; Royal Palm and Boca Harbour canal walls sit in calm water where the growth is thick and hides cracks.
Rebuilding a wall is permitted work under the city's code; we recommend a cleaning and inspection every 1–2 years so it rarely comes to that.
Boca Raton permits seawalls under Chapter 22 of its code and the Engineering Design Standards Manual (section 7.7), and a permit plan has to show the top-of-cap elevation, which is the city's way of tracking wall heights without a single published minimum that we could confirm. The Hillsboro Canal, the county line with Deerfield Beach, has a 50-foot shoreline slow zone on the Palm Beach County side, and Lake Wyman marks the north end of the city's Intracoastal frontage. A wall anywhere between them that is cleaned, inspected and documented is ready for a lender in 33431, 33432 or 33487.
Boca Raton tracks wall heights through permit plans that must show the top-of-cap elevation, and because we have not confirmed a published city minimum we do not quote one. What the $250 inspection gives an owner is the wall's condition after the growth is off: the document a lender wants for a sale in 33431, 33432 or 33487. Lake Boca walls take tidal flow; Royal Palm and Boca Harbour canal walls take still water and heavy growth.
Boca Raton seawalls face the Intracoastal Waterway, Lake Boca Raton, the Hillsboro Canal and Lake Wyman. Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, Boca Harbour and the rest of ZIP codes 33431, 33432 and 33487: cleaned first, then inspected and documented.
What's included
Cleaning first
Oyster and barnacle growth comes off the wall before anyone judges its condition.
Inspection
$250 for a residential wall, $350 for multi-family and commercial.
Written condition report
A written statement of the wall's condition with photos: the documentation buyers, agents and many lenders ask for on a waterfront sale. Ask us what your lender needs.
Crack repair
Cracks filled deep with custom-made cement tubes that reach the back of the crack. Quoted free, in person.
What the inspection documents
The written report covers the wall's condition, which is what buyers, agents and many lenders want before closing on a waterfront home.
- Overall condition once the growth is off.
- Cracks letting sediment out from behind the wall: the cause of a sinking yard, deck or patio.
- Growth that was eating the wall or hiding damage.
- The recommended repair, with a free in-person quote.
How often a seawall should be looked at. Every 1–2 years, cleaned and inspected together, and after any named storm; seawalls get installed and forgotten until the yard loses sediment, and thick growth covers the crack that started it.
Seawall Inspection & Repair in Boca Raton: your questions
My Boca Harbour wall faces the Intracoastal. Is that harder on it than a canal wall?
Yes: Intracoastal walls take tide and boat wake and lose sediment faster once a crack opens, while canal walls carry more growth. The $250 inspection is the same for both; the diver just expects different problems, and cleans the wall before judging it either way.
How much does a seawall inspection cost?
$250 residential, $350 multi-family or commercial, written condition report with photos included. Repairs are quoted free in person.
Do you provide the seawall documentation my lender is asking for?
After the inspection (and any repair) you get a written condition report with photos on the wall's condition, the documentation buyers, agents and many lenders ask for on waterfront sales. Tell us what your lender or insurer requires; if it needs an engineer's seal we will say so before you pay.
How do you repair a cracked seawall?
With custom-made cement tubes that reach the back of the crack and fill it all the way through, so sediment stops escaping from under the yard, deck or foundation.
