Your checklist
Routine inspection checklist
A homeowner visual checklist to keep consistent records between professional inspections. It is not a structural inspection and cannot determine whether a wall is safe.
Safety first
- Never lean over the edge or climb on the wall face. Use binoculars, a phone camera, or a boat or dock at low water.
- Stay off sunken, cracked or undermined ground near the wall.
- Do not dig behind the wall or remove soil to look for voids.
Educational guidance only. This information is general and is not a structural assessment, engineering advice, or a permitting determination. Conditions at every waterfront are different; consult a licensed marine contractor or professional engineer about your wall.
