FAQ'S

We do. Our underwater inspections examine pilings, supports, and submerged hardware for cracks, rot, and corrosion that stay hidden from anyone standing on the deck above. This is where many serious problems first appear.

Watch for cracking, crumbling sections, leaning, soil washing out behind the wall, or heavy marine buildup along the face. Any of these signals that your sea wall would benefit from a professional assessment.

We work with care and use methods chosen to protect the surrounding environment while still lifting tough buildup. Keeping the water healthy matters to us as much as keeping your structure clean.

Timing depends on the size of the structure and how much growth has accumulated. A single residential dock often takes part of a day, while larger marina projects are scheduled to match their scope without rushing the work.

Yes. We handle everything from private backyard docks to busy commercial marinas. Each property receives the same detail focused attention, scaled to the size and demands of the structure in front of us.

Constant wave action, tidal movement, storms, and water seeping behind the wall all wear it down over time. Marine buildup and small unrepaired cracks speed up the process, which is why early attention pays off.

We bring over eight years of real marine cleaning and repair experience to every job. That background means we recognize early warning signs, understand how saltwater behaves, and know how to protect your structure properly.

Yes. Alongside cleaning, we provide maintenance and repair that includes tightening hardware, replacing worn boards, and reinforcing weak points. Addressing wear early keeps small issues from turning into major structural problems.

Loose or wobbly boards, rusted or failing hardware, soft or splintering wood, leaning pilings, and unusual movement underfoot all point to needed repairs. Catching these early keeps your dock safe and usable.

Marine growth is persistent and will gradually return in warm coastal water, which is why regular cleaning matters. Staying on a consistent schedule keeps buildup manageable and protects your structure from long term damage.

An annual underwater inspection is a sound baseline for most docks, with added checks after major storms or if you notice changes in stability. Regular inspections catch hidden trouble before it becomes expensive.

No. We match our approach to the material, lifting heavy buildup without harming the surfaces underneath. Protecting the integrity of your structure is just as important to us as getting it clean.

Absolutely. We are equipped to take on marinas and large waterfront facilities, scheduling and scaling the work to fit busy operations while keeping pilings, docks, and sea walls in dependable condition.
