Best Seawall Construction | How to Build a Seawall | Wells Beach Maine Seawall Failure | Real Estate

Do you need to learn how to build a proper ocean facing sea wall? In this video, I explain what is happening to sea walls along Crescent Beach in Wells Maine. Basically, without a flat concrete area behind the sea wall that some call a captains walk, the water surge during high tides and storms will was away dirt behind the sea wall and eventually lead to a sea wall failure.
I sold my house that was ocean front on Crescent Beach in Wells Maine, purchased another house on the ocean in Cape Coral, FL and used what I learned from repairing my wall and property every spring to build a proper seawall in Cape Coral FL. If you are thinking about buying an ocean front property in Wells Maine, you will learn a great deal in this video about how sea walls fail and how they should be built.

My family has been in Kennebunk Maine for well over 100 years I am in my 50s and I have yet to see a seawall for the most part hold up if mother nature wants to take it lol. Also as a kid I spent lots of time working with a landscaper on drakes island putting sod down on lawns after all the storms. Oh the good times lol. Another thing I remember is hauling several feet of rocks off the lawns before we laid the new sod down.

Thank you for sharing. God bless guys like you helping people out after the storms! :) I hauled rocks of my lawn every spring!

Fucken stupid regulations and ordinances can cause a house to be destroyed because of the size of the rocks. Crazy.
