Seawall Repair for Anna Maria waterfront properties
Langley Coastal has a variety of tried and true methods for repairing and restoring all types of seawalls. First, we identify what issues your Anna Maria seawall is having, with thorough inspections that include underwater photos and videos of its condition and potential repair methods.
Then we recommend the repair: simple hydraulic cement crack repairs, major repairs with new forms and rebar, or high-density polyurethane foam injection. To stop water and sediment flowing through fractures or voids in the footer, we use NCFI's Terra-Lok™ foam.
Making the necessary repairs as quickly as possible can reduce the need for heavily intrusive excavating in the future and save money. More about seawall repair.
Seawall Repair in Anna Maria: what's specific here
The rule in Anna Maria: City code (Ch. 110 Waterways) limits replacement seawalls: 'Construction, inclusive of a buttress and seawall cap, shall not protrude more than 12 inches seaward of the existing seawall or seawall cap. [amisun.com] Which means a repair that keeps the existing wall is often the practical route, and a rebuild has to meet the new elevation.
Hurricane Milton (Oct 2024) surge pushed inland across the island, piled sand on roads, knocked down fences and turned leftover Helene debris into projectiles; Rod & Reel Pier was ripped apart [mysuncoast.com] That is the kind of water pressure that opens cracks and washes soil out from behind a Anna Maria seawall.
Permits: City of Anna Maria (Ch. 110; 12-inch seaward projection limit) + FDEP + USACE. FDEP 62-330.051(12)(b) exempts restoring a seawall/riprap damaged in the last year no more than 18 inches waterward; the city's 12-inch cap is stricter. [amisun.com]
