Seawalls are hard-engineered structures with a primary function to prevent further erosion of the shoreline. They are built parallel to the shore and aim to hold or prevent sliding soil, while providing protection from wave action. Although their primary function is erosion reduction, they have a secondary function as coastal flood defenses.
A professionally engineered seawall can protect your home and property from erosion damage, and can help you prevent costly foundation damage repairs. A seawall built along the edge of your property, stops the waves and high winds from interacting with the materials underneath your foundation, preventing erosion leading to foundation damage.
