Seawall Repair for Lauderdale-By-The-Sea 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 Lauderdale-By-The-Sea 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 Lauderdale-By-The-Sea: what's specific here
The rule in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea: Broward County standard (Code Ch. 39 Art. XXV / Land Use Plan Policy 2.21.7, county ordinance approved March 31, 2020; policy effective Feb 13, 2020): tidal flood barriers must have a minimum elevation of 5 ft NAVD88; applications for new or substantially rehabilitated barriers filed before Jan 1, 2035 may be permitted at 4 ft NAVD88 if designed and built to reach 5 ft NAVD88 by Jan 1, 2050. [webdocs.fortlauderdale.gov] Which means a repair that keeps the existing wall is often the practical route, and a rebuild has to meet the new elevation.
Neighboring Fort Lauderdale reports its highest tides in September, October and November, with 2026 king tide windows from Sept 10 to Dec 25. [fortlauderdale.gov] That is the kind of water pressure that opens cracks and washes soil out from behind a Lauderdale-By-The-Sea seawall.
Permits: Town Building Division (CAP Government) + Broward County EPD. Building Permit and Inspection Services for the Town are provided by CAP Government, Inc.; in the RS-5 and RD-10 districts no residence may sit within 25 ft of a lot line abutting the Intracoastal or an inland waterway.

Seawall Repair in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea — FAQs
Does the Lauderdale-By-The-Sea seawall rule apply to a repair?
Broward County standard (Code Ch. 39 Art. XXV / Land Use Plan Policy 2.21.7, county ordinance approved March 31, 2020; policy effective Feb 13, 2020): tidal flood barriers must have a minimum elevation of 5 ft NAVD88; applications for new or substantially rehabilitated barriers filed before Jan 1, 2035 may be permitted at 4 ft NAVD88 if designed and built to reach 5 ft NAVD88 by Jan 1, 2050. Whether a given repair triggers the standard depends on the extent of the work; the inspection tells us which route fits. [source]
How do you inspect a seawall in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea?
We provide thorough seawall inspections including underwater photos and videos showing the condition of your Lauderdale-By-The-Sea seawall and potential repair methods.
Why do Lauderdale-By-The-Sea seawalls fail?
Town canal dredging: four of the six canals are being dredged; Phase 1 covered Canal B and the Silver Shores Waterway starting December 2022 after USACE, FDEP and Broward County approvals. Water and sediment moving through cracks or voids in the footer wash out the soil behind the wall; foam injection seals those paths. [source]
