Here are a few steps you can follow to maintain your dock:
Inspect the dock regularly for signs of damage or wear. Look for cracks, rot, or other damage to the structure. Repair any damages as soon as possible to prevent further deterioration. This might involve replacing damaged planks, tightening bolts, or painting the structure. Keep the dock clean by removing debris, such as leaves and trash, that may accumulate on it. Consider installing protective measures, such as wave breaks or fenders, to reduce the impact of rough water on the dock.
If you are unsure about how to perform maintenance on your dock, or if you have significant damage that needs repair, it is best to consult with a local dock company. We would be happy to provide an onsite evaluation and estimate for a one-time call or a scheduled maintenance program.
