Visible Erosion Near The Seawall

Observe the ground that is touching your seawall. If the soil has eroded away, sunk down, or washed out, it might mean that the seawall is no longer effectively stopping the water from coming in. Soil loss is a major sign of sea wall failure.

Leaning or Tilting

There isn’t a clearer sign of structural instability than leaning or tilting of a seawall. Even a slight tilt should be addressed quickly as it could lead to further complications. If there has been even slight erosion or soil movement, it can cause this leaning.
