Why are seawalls important to waterfront real estate on Lake Martin, Alabama?

If you own a home on Lake Martin or are interested in buying real estate here, you may not think much about the seawall near your house. However, it is very crucial to understand the importance of a good seawall. In this post, I will talk more about why you should pay attention to seawall failures at Lake Martin, so that your seawall will be a success.

As a full time real estate agent here at Lake Martin, I get this question a lot. Seawalls are important because they help prevent erosion and flooding that may be caused from waves. Since we are a vacation home market, the lot is often the most valuable part of the home. So we don’t want you to lose your investment by it eroding in to the lake!

There are many ways to build seawalls, but not many ways are as substantial as concrete. Living on Lake Martin, I have seen many kinds of seawalls. Seawall contractors tell me that other materials, such as wood, cannot withstand waves as much as concrete. Therefore, it is very important to make sure the seawall near your home is built in the best way possible. It is also important to notice the exterior symptoms of a seawall failure, such as erosion. This may take extreme measures to fix. Make sure you know the signs of seawall failures and take the steps to ensure your land is protected on Lake Martin.
