Seawall Replacement and Canal-Front Preparation for New Homes in Lighthouse Point
The condition of a canal lot's seawall is one of the first things a builder must evaluate. Many original seawalls were constructed with the materials and standards of their era, and after decades of tidal exposure, soil pressure, and boat wake forces, they may no longer be adequate to support a new luxury home and its site improvements. A failing seawall can cause settling, drainage problems, and structural risk that compromises everything built above it.
Cannatelli Builders assesses seawall condition as part of pre-construction for every new home construction project in Lighthouse Point. When replacement is needed, the marine contractor's work is coordinated with the overall schedule so the new seawall is in place before foundation work begins. Addressing the seawall first is not optional on a canal-front lot. It is a prerequisite for everything that follows.
