Seawall Cleaning & Dock Piling Cleaning in Boynton Beach, FL

Our divers clean seawalls and dock pilings underwater in Boynton Beach, along the Intracoastal and the canals. Growth comes off the wall and each piling, and we wrap pilings too.

Boynton Beach, FL

Cleaning the wall and the pilings at a Boynton Beach dock

The diver works in the water, not from the dock. Your seawall is cleaned along its face, from the waterline down. Every piling gets the same, one at a time.

Boynton Beach's code sets where a wall and a dock can sit. The water-side face of a seawall stays inside the property line. A dock and its mooring piles can reach no farther than a quarter of the way across the waterway. That is the ground we cover: the face of your wall and each piling out to the end of your dock.

Wrapping pilings is part of our work as well. Our base is Fort Lauderdale, and the company is licensed and insured.

Local notes for Boynton Beach

Where a wall and a dock can sit in Boynton Beach

The City's Land Development Regulations, Chapter 3, Article V, Section 3.O, require a City permit for seawalls and docks installed along access waterways. A seawall's water-side face may not cross the property line. Docks, mooring piles and similar structures may not reach past one-quarter of the waterway's width. Cleaning moves nothing: the wall and the dock stay where they are, without the growth.

Seawall & Dock Cleaning questions in Boynton Beach

Which parts of my Boynton Beach dock and seawall do you clean?

We clean the face of the seawall and every piling under and beside the dock. Boynton Beach's code keeps a seawall's water-side face inside the property line and limits docks and mooring piles to a quarter of the waterway's width. So the job runs from your wall out to your last piling. We can wrap the pilings too.

Does Boynton Beach get tidal flooding near the water?

Yes. The City of Boynton Beach says its low-lying coastal communities are vulnerable to tidal flooding. It has installed tidal valves in affected neighborhoods and lists drainage work in Lakeside Gardens and Coquina Cove. If high water covers your dock or the path to it, tell us when you call about cleaning.

Do you wrap dock pilings in Boynton Beach, or only clean them?

We clean dock pilings and we wrap them. Our divers do both in Boynton Beach, along with the seawall. That goes for a dock on a canal and for one near Boynton Harbor Marina, half a mile south of the inlet. Tell us how many pilings you have and which ones you want wrapped.

Is 6 Feet Under licensed and insured for seawall work in Boynton Beach?

Yes. We are licensed and insured, and the crew comes up from Fort Lauderdale to docks in Boynton Beach. That means docks on the Intracoastal and docks on the canals. The work is done in the water, along your seawall and under your dock.

What do I tell you when I call about a Boynton Beach seawall?

Tell us where the dock is, how long the wall is and how many pilings there are. Say whether it is on the Intracoastal or on a canal, and whether you want pilings wrapped. If the tide has been over the dock, mention it. From that we can talk through the job.
