- Wall sections leaning toward the canal
- Sinkholes, voids, or washed-out soil behind the wall
- Rust stains, exposed tiebacks, or failing cap sections
- Dock or boat lift movement near the seawall
- Flooding during king tides or heavy rain

Common causes
What Damages Seawalls?
Fort Lauderdale seawalls deal with water pressure, soil movement, boat wake, storms, and age.
Tide and Drainage Pressure
Poor drainage can push water and soil against the wall.
Soil Loss
Voids behind the wall can create sinking, cracks, or patio movement.
Storm Wear
Heavy rain, king tides, and storms can expose weak points.
Dock Stress
Dock, piling, or boat lift movement can add stress near the wall.
