Seawall & bulkhead repair for the South Carolina coast

Tides work on your wall twice a day, every day. If your bulkhead is leaning, your cap is cracking, or your yard is disappearing behind the wall, the time to act is before the next storm season — not after it.

What we do

Shoreline structures, start to finish

Seawall repair

Crack injection, cap replacement, scour repair, tieback anchoring, and panel stabilization for concrete and vinyl seawalls showing their age.

Bulkhead repair

Leaning timber and vinyl bulkheads straightened, re-anchored, and resealed — or honestly assessed for replacement when repair won't hold.

New seawall & bulkhead construction

Full replacement and new installation in vinyl, timber, concrete, and steel — engineered for Lowcountry soils, tides, and permit requirements.

Riprap & erosion control

Stone revetments, living shoreline hybrids, and slope stabilization where a vertical wall isn't the right answer — or isn't permittable.

Why walls fail here

The Lowcountry is hard on shoreline structures

Brackish water corrodes fasteners. Pluff mud gives way under toe pressure. Wakes from the Intracoastal pull fill from behind panels one bucket at a time, and you never see it happening — until the cap cracks or the wall leans. Most of the failures we see started years before anyone noticed a symptom.

That's why early assessment matters. A wall caught leaning at two degrees is a repair. The same wall at ten degrees is a replacement at five times the price.
