Anchor Rod Deterioration
A seawall does not hold itself up. Buried steel anchor rods, or tie-backs, connect the wall to firm ground behind it and carry most of the load. Along the Wilmington and Brunswick County shoreline, salt and saturated soil corrode that steel out of sight. Here is what that means for the wall and what a no-pressure inspection looks at.
Learn moreBowing or Leaning
When a seawall starts curving or tilting toward the water instead of standing plumb, the soil and water behind it are pushing harder than the wall can hold. Along the Wilmington and Brunswick County shoreline, here is what drives that pressure and what a no-pressure inspection looks at.
Learn moreCracks in the Seawall
Along the Wilmington and Brunswick County coast, cracks in a seawall or its cap can be surface weathering, or they can be the wall reacting to salt corrosion, lost backfill, and water pressure behind it. Here is how to read the difference and what a no-pressure inspection looks at.
Learn moreDeterioration
A seawall does not usually fail all at once. Along the Wilmington and Brunswick County shoreline, salt air, a high water table, and sandy backfill work on the wall year after year until the structure weakens. Here is what drives that decline and what a no-pressure inspection looks at before anything is repaired.
Learn moreHydrostatic Pressure
Along the Carolina coast, a high water table keeps the soil behind your seawall saturated, and that trapped water pushes the wall toward the water every time the tide drops. Here is how hydrostatic pressure works on coastal walls around Wilmington and Brunswick County, and what a no-pressure inspection looks at.
Learn moreSeawall Cap Failure
The cap is the concrete beam along the top of a seawall. It ties the wall sections together and seals water out from behind the wall. When salt corrodes the steel inside it, the cap cracks and spalls, and the wall loses its first line of defense. Here is how that failure develops along the Carolina coast and what a no-pressure inspection looks at before any repair.
Learn moreSettlement
When a seawall settles, the wall and the ground it holds back are dropping because the soil beneath has washed out, scoured, or compacted. Along the Wilmington and Brunswick County shoreline, here is what drives that subsidence and what a no-pressure inspection looks at.
