Short Answer
Waterfront properties require specialized inspections beyond a standard home inspection. Seawall inspections, dock surveys, marine growth assessments, and canal depth verification are all critical for waterfront buyers.

A standard home inspector will miss seawall problems every time. I require a marine inspection on every waterfront deal I handle. I have watched buyers discover $40,000 in seawall damage after closing that a regular inspector never flagged. It is the best $500 you will ever spend.
