Signs You Need a Dock Repair

While many docks are designed with durable materials, they won’t last forever. Over time, strong waves and currents can cause the structure to warp and bend due to high pressure. In some cases, severe damage may require a complete replacement. While in some instances, a few dock repairs will help restore its integrity. Browse the following section to learn some of the signs that you may need a dock repair.

Rust Spots

Your dock comes in contact with water frequently, meaning there’s bound to be a build-up of moisture. Over time, this can lead to rusted dock supports and platforms. As long as the affected area is small, it can easily be repaired.

Rotting Wood

For those who have wood docks, it’s perfectly normal to see a little rot here and there. In some cases, fungus from the water can cause dry rot, causing the wood to decay and crumble. If it’s contained in a small area, it can be repaired easily with some new lumber. 

The Importance of Dock Repairs

If you notice damage to your dock, it’s important to repair it as soon as possible. A damaged dock could have a huge effect on your safety. Broken walkways, unstable/rotting pilings, and uneven warping surfaces can all lead to falls and serious injury. Especially if the structural integrity of the dock is under question, it could eventually cause the whole dock to collapse, leading to significant damage, injury, and expensive replacement costs. Avoid this danger by calling a marine construction company to replace and repair damaged sections of piling and walkways before they get worse. Dock repairs are not only important for safety but they also add to the appearance of your property. If your dock is old and unkept, simple dock repairs can boost the aesthetic appeal of your property or business. To prevent injury, expensive replacement, and to ensure a clean property, choose to undergo dock repairs as soon as you notice damage. Whether a storm has fractured your piling or normal marine wear and tear has beat down on your dock, Backwater Marine Construction is here for all your dock repair needs.
