Why Fall Is the Best Time to Inspect and Repair Your Seawall

If you own waterfront property, your seawall serves as the first line of defense against erosion, flooding, and storm damage. As temperatures drop and hurricane season winds down, fall becomes the ideal time for a thorough seawall inspection—and here’s why.

Lower Water Levels

During fall, tide levels tend to drop. This makes it easier to visually inspect the base of your seawall and spot cracks, leaks, or erosion near the footing.

Off-Peak Season for Contractors

Fall is typically a slower season for marine contractors. As a result, companies like Williamson Bros. Marine Construction have more availability, which means faster turnaround times and greater scheduling flexibility.

Prepare for Winter Storms

Acting now can help prevent winter storms from worsening existing structural issues. Even minor cracks today could lead to major failures if left untreated.

What We Check in a Fall Seawall Inspection

– Visible cracks or shifting
– Soil loss behind the wall
