Seawall Repair for Lighthouse Point 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 Lighthouse Point 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 Lighthouse Point: what's specific here
The rule in Lighthouse Point: 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. [zoneomics.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: "Lighthouse Point is in a flood-prone area and we want to encourage everyone to secure adequate flood insurance protection"; the Building Department keeps elevation certificates for properties in the floodplain. [lighthousepointfl.gov] That is the kind of water pressure that opens cracks and washes soil out from behind a Lighthouse Point seawall.
Permits: City of Lighthouse Point Building Department + Broward County EPD. Same city checklist applies to seawalls; city code Sec. 42-381 governs seawall height and raising or capping (text not retrieved). [lighthousepointfl.gov]

Does the Lighthouse Point 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]

Why do Lighthouse Point seawalls fail?
City: "Lighthouse Point is in a flood-prone area and we want to encourage everyone to secure adequate flood insurance protection"; the Building Department keeps elevation certificates for properties in the floodplain. Water and sediment moving through cracks or voids in the footer wash out the soil behind the wall; foam injection seals those paths. [source]
