Warning sign #1: a depression forming in the gravel French drain right behind the seawall cap. That dip means dirt is washing out through a leak in the wall below the waterline.

As the leak grows, the depression gets deeper and wider. Left alone, this becomes a sinkhole at your seawall and eventually undermines the wall itself.

Depression running along the top of the seawall cap. If you can see it from your yard, the leak underwater is already active.

Failing seawall cap — the joint between two cap sections has cracked open and the gravel behind is washing straight through to the water. Classic candidate for a cap rebuild before the panels below go.

Broken seawall cap corner with concrete blown out and rebar exposed. Once salt water reaches the steel, the whole cap keeps unraveling until it's rebuilt.

Mid-repair: old cap demoed off, new rebar cage tied into the existing wall and formed up along the waterline, ready for a fresh concrete pour to rebuild the cap.
