Seawall Inspection & Repair in Lantana, FL

Hypoluxo Island walls sit in still, brackish backwater; walls along the lagoon by the Lantana Avenue bridge take a little more tide and wake.

The Lake Worth Lagoon is brackish because its inlets are man-made cuts that let the ocean in, while the C-51, C-16 and C-17 canals bring fresh water down from inland. A Hypoluxo Island wall sits in that mix, in the still backwater east of the island. Sportsman's Park has a seawall fishing pier of its own, which is a public wall in the same water. We have not researched a Lantana seawall rule, so the inspection here is about condition and the lender's paperwork; the town is ZIP 33462.

A Hypoluxo Island wall sits in still, brackish water, and a wall along the lagoon by the Lantana bridge takes a little more tide, but both hide their cracks under oysters until the diver cleans them. We have not researched a Lantana seawall rule, so the inspection is about condition: the $250 residential ($350 multi-family or public) inspection produces the document a lender wants for a sale in 33462. That reach the back of it.

The island's walls face the backwater, and the diver works in the water without anyone home. Sportsman's Park's seawall fishing pier is the town's wall and shows what a public bulkhead in the same lagoon looks like; the private walls behind the island's homes are the ones we clean, inspect and write up.

Lantana seawalls face the Lake Worth Lagoon and the Intracoastal Waterway. Hypoluxo Island and the rest of ZIP code 33462: cleaned first, then inspected and documented.

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.
