Seawall / Bulkhead Maintenance
Protect Your Investment: Essential Seawall Maintenance Services
At Shoreline Marine Construction, we understand the critical role a well-maintained seawall plays in protecting your waterfront property. With the unpredictable weather patterns along the Alabama Gulf Coast, including heavy rains and hurricanes, it's vital to ensure your seawall is in top condition. Neglecting maintenance can lead to severe damage, both to the seawall and your property. Here’s what you should look out for:
-
Cracks or Leaks
Regularly inspect for visible cracks, holes, or leaks. These can weaken the structure over time, allowing water to cause significant damage.
-
Wave and Tidal Action
Notice how your seawall withstands waves and tides. Frequent battering may indicate an increased risk of damage.
-
Settling or Tilting
Signs of settling or tilting could signal foundational issues or instability in the structure.
-
Surface Wear
Wear and tear from continuous water and weather exposure may require maintenance or protective treatments.
-
Erosion Indicators
Erosion around the seawall, such as exposed soil or a receding shoreline, suggests the wall might not effectively protect your property.
-
Cap Integrity
Ensure the cap or protective cover on the seawall is intact and not compromised.
-
Vegetation Growth
Overgrowth near the seawall can lead to structural damage if roots penetrate or destabilize the wall.
-
Corrosion
Look out for rust or corrosion in metal seawalls, weakening the structure.
