Seawall Repair for Deerfield Beach 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 Deerfield Beach 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 Deerfield Beach: what's specific here
The rule in Deerfield Beach: City adopted the Broward County standard: minimum 5 ft NAVD88 for new or substantially rehabilitated tidal flood barriers, with 4 ft NAVD88 allowed for applications before Jan 1, 2035 if built to reach 5 ft by Jan 1, 2050 (Ordinance 2022/003 adopted Jan 4, 2022 amending Land Development Code Sec. 98-87; an August 2022 amendment let docks be built at 4 ft NAVD88 before 2035 and set seawall cap width at 18 to 42 inches). [ordinancewatch.com] Which means a repair that keeps the existing wall is often the practical route, and a rebuild has to meet the new elevation.
City stormwater master plan recommends seawall and outfall condition assessments "every 3-5 years, after a severe coastal storm event, or after reporting of localized flooding." [deerfield-beach.com] That is the kind of water pressure that opens cracks and washes soil out from behind a Deerfield Beach seawall.
Permits: City of Deerfield Beach Building Department + Broward County EPD. City LDC 98-87 sets seawall cap width (18 to 42 in) and the 4 ft/5 ft NAVD88 elevation schedule; retaining walls and seawalls in waterfront yards must follow 98-87 standards. [ordinancewatch.com]

Seawall Repair in Deerfield Beach — FAQs
Does the Deerfield Beach seawall rule apply to a repair?
City adopted the Broward County standard: minimum 5 ft NAVD88 for new or substantially rehabilitated tidal flood barriers, with 4 ft NAVD88 allowed for applications before Jan 1, 2035 if built to reach 5 ft by Jan 1, 2050 (Ordinance 2022/003 adopted Jan 4, 2022 amending Land Development Code Sec. 98-87; an August 2022 amendment let docks be built at 4 ft NAVD88 before 2035 and set seawall cap width at 18 to 42 inches). Whether a given repair triggers the standard depends on the extent of the work; the inspection tells us which route fits. [source]

Why do Deerfield Beach seawalls fail?
City stormwater master plan recommends seawall and outfall condition assessments "every 3-5 years, after a severe coastal storm event, or after reporting of localized flooding." Water and sediment moving through cracks or voids in the footer wash out the soil behind the wall; foam injection seals those paths. [source]
