Selective reflection spectroscopy at an interface with a low-density resonant vapor, especially when combined with a frequency modulation technique, is a high-resolution Doppler-free tool for probing atoms interacting with a surface. We analyze different types of relevant surface interaction, emphasizing the spectral consequences of a van der Waals surface attraction associated to a $z^{-3}$ potential dependence ($z$: distance to the wall). We present detailed results of two series of experiments at a Cs vapor/dielectric window interface on the 6S$_{1/2}$-6P$_{3/2}$ ($\lambda = 852$ nm) resonance line and on the 6S$_{1/2}$-7P second resonance line ($\lambda = 455$ nm and 459 nm). Lineshape analysis at various pressures consistently shows th...
