Florida’s waterfront properties are no strangers to heavy rains, rising tides, and storm surges -especially in the fall. Your seawall is your property’s first line of defense, but without proper preparation, small issues can turn into costly damage.

At Poseidon Shoreline, we’ve created a simple storm prep checklist to help property owners in Titusville, Cocoa Beach, Merritt Island, Melbourne, Palm Bay, and Satellite Beach protect their seawalls before the storms roll in.

1. Inspect for Cracks and Erosion

Walk your seawall and look for cracks, leaning sections, or soil erosion behind the wall. These early warning signs often show up after summer boating traffic or seasonal high tides. Catching them now prevents failures during fall storms.

2. Clear Drainage Paths

Blocked drainage causes water to pool and build pressure behind your seawall. Ensure that weep holes and nearby drainage systems are clear and functioning.

3. Reinforce Weak Areas

If you notice loose capstones, exposed rebar, or bulging sections, schedule a professional seawall inspection. Reinforcing weak spots in advance can prevent collapse during heavy rain or storm surge.

4. Protect Nearby Structures

Your dock, boardwalk, or shoreline landscaping can also take a hit during fall storms. A quick inspection and repair of these structures ensures your entire property is storm-ready.

5. Schedule Professional Help

Storm prep isn’t just about peace of mind—it’s about protecting your investment. Our team regularly assists property owners from Cape Canaveral to Indian Harbour Beach, ensuring their seawalls are ready for anything Florida’s storm season brings.
