Visible cracks or fractures, ranging from small surface cracks to more significant structural damage, may appear in the concrete, stone, or other materials used in your seawall.

Erosion Around the Seawall

Pay attention to the ground surrounding your seawall. If you notice signs of soil erosion, such as sinking or washouts, it may indicate that the seawall is no longer effectively protecting against water intrusion.

Leaning or Tilting

A seawall leaning or tilting is a clear sign of structural instability. This can occur due to soil movement, erosion, or faulty construction, and even a slight lean should be addressed promptly to prevent further deterioration.

Water Intrusion

If you notice water seeping through the seawall, especially during high tides or storms, it indicates a breach in the seawall's integrity, leading to more extensive damage if not addressed promptly.

Sagging or Bowing

A seawall that appears to sag or bow inward may indicate excess pressure from soil, water, or other external forces. This is a serious concern that requires immediate attention.

Loose or Displaced Stones or Blocks

In seawalls made of stone or concrete blocks, loose or displaced stones can weaken the structure and compromise its ability to resist the forces of the sea.

Vegetation Growth

Unusual vegetation growth on or near the seawall can indicate soil erosion or compromised structural integrity. The presence of deep-rooted plants, for example, can worsen damage over time.

Increased Flooding

If you've noticed an increase in flooding during high tides or storms in areas previously protected by your seawall, it's a clear indicator that the seawall is no longer functioning as it should.
