The homeowner noticed small sinkholes behind the seawall. Our inspection found minor backfill loss but stable panels. We filled the voids with pressure grout, resealed the joints, and replaced two tie-backs.

Seawalls rarely fail overnight. They send small signals first — and they’re easy to miss until the yard starts sinking. If you’ve noticed any of these, you’re not imagining it.
Cracks mean the wall is under uneven pressure. Left alone, they let water and soil move through — and they keep growing with every tide.
A wall that tips outward is a red flag that soil is washing out from behind it or the tie-backs are failing.
Dips, low spots, or pothole-like areas near the wall mean fill is escaping through gaps. The wall is losing the support behind it.
Water that bubbles up in the lawn or lingers after rain means drainage is blocked and pressure is building behind the wall.
Separation between panels — or new sand and soil showing up on the water side — is a sure sign your backfill is leaking out.
Rust streaks point to corroding rebar and tie-backs. After a storm or heavy boat wake, chipped concrete and loose caps often show up too.
Florida’s saltwater, tides, and boat wakes make every weak spot worse. Here’s the difference acting now can make.
Sometimes a $2,000 repair prevents a $25,000 replacement. The sooner we look, the more options you have.
Harbor Bay Marine Industries is a family-owned marine construction company founded and led by Scott Szafranski. Scott brings over 40 years of hands-on experience on Florida waterways — and he personally oversees every project.
We start with a real on-site inspection, explain what we find in plain language, and recommend what your wall actually needs. No surprises. No unnecessary upsells. From permits to the final cap, our own crews handle the work for consistency and accountability — because this is our community, too.
A seawall has to let water move in and out as the tide rises and falls. When that flow gets blocked, pressure builds, soil escapes, and the wall starts to fail. Our repairs restore that balance so the problem doesn’t come back.
We seal cracks and open seams in the vertical panels and re-seal expansion joints so water and soil stop passing through.
We fill hidden underground voids behind the wall with environmentally safe polyurethane resin and pressure grouting to firm up the backfill.
We clear clogged jet filters and weep holes, or install new ones, so water drains properly and pressure stops building behind the wall.
If anchors have corroded or failed, we install new stainless or composite tie-backs to pull the wall back into support.
We repair chipped and cracked caps or replace them with marine-grade concrete to lock the panels together and protect the top of the wall.
When a section is past saving, we replace it with vinyl or composite panels. If the whole wall is done, we can often build the new one right in front of the old.
It’s not really about concrete and tie-backs. It’s about enjoying your waterfront again without worrying about it.
No more sinkholes, soft spots, or dangerous drop-offs near the water. Walk, mow, and let the kids play without second-guessing it.
A stable wall keeps erosion away from your foundation, patio, pool deck, and dock — and protects your property value.
Go into storm season knowing your seawall can handle high tides, heavy rain, and surge instead of hoping it holds.
Fixing it early costs far less than rebuilding later. We’ll always tell you when a repair is enough.
One local team handles the inspection, permits, and repair. You don’t have to chase contractors or paperwork.
Stop checking the wall after every storm. Get back to enjoying the reason you bought a waterfront home.
Three simple steps. No pressure, no guesswork.
Fill out the short form or call (772) 335-7080. We’ll get back to you within 24 hours to set a time.
We inspect the cracks, alignment, soil, tie-backs, drainage, and cap — then explain your options clearly, including permits.
Our crew completes the repair and cleans up. You get a stable wall, a safe yard, and one less thing to worry about.
Most repairs are completed in 1–2 weeks. Smaller jobs often take just a few days.
Every wall is different. That’s why we inspect first and recommend second.
The homeowner noticed small sinkholes behind the seawall. Our inspection found minor backfill loss but stable panels. We filled the voids with pressure grout, resealed the joints, and replaced two tie-backs.
This concrete wall had shifted more than 6 inches outward, the rebar was rusted, and the soil behind it was gone. Repair wasn’t the honest answer, so we built a new vinyl seawall with composite tie-backs and a reinforced cap.
It depends on the length of the wall, the type of damage, and access to the site. Most repairs cost a fraction of a replacement — sometimes a $2,000 repair prevents a $25,000 replacement. Your inspection is free, and you’ll get a clear price before any work begins.
Yes, it’s free and there’s no obligation. We look at your wall, explain what we find in plain language, and give you your options. What you do next is completely up to you.
Minor cracks, small soil voids, clogged weep holes, cap damage, and slight leaning with intact tie-backs can usually be repaired. Deep cracks across several panels, severe leaning, widespread erosion, or failed tie-backs usually mean replacement. We’ll tell you honestly which one your wall needs — and we never push a replacement when a repair will do.
Most repairs take 1–2 weeks, and smaller jobs are often done in a few days. We’ll give you a timeline at your inspection so you know what to expect.
A proper repair can add 10–15 years to your seawall’s life. If your wall is near the end of its lifespan (concrete walls typically last 30–35 years), we’ll let you know so you can decide what makes the most sense long-term.
Many seawall projects need permits from local building departments and environmental agencies. We handle the entire permitting process for you, and all of our work is DEP-compliant.
Yes. Our work is backed by our workmanship guarantee, plus any applicable material warranties. We’ll go over exactly what’s covered for your project before we start.
