Here are a few more problems you may see with your seawall and what you should do to fix them. 

The sheering of the cap indicates significant wall movement. Depending on the amount of movement, either a new cap and tieback system or a new wall replacement will be recommended.

Significant cracking in the seawall cap as well as buckling in the seawall panes indicates seawall replacement is necessary.

Significant cracking and bowing of the seawall and seawall cap indicate major shifting of the seawall. Complete seawall replacement is necessary.
