Seawall and piling cleaning on the Dania Cut-off Canal

Our diver works in the water beside your wall, not from the cap. The wall face is cleaned first, and the pilings come next. We work on the Dania Cut-off Canal and the Intracoastal, and Harbour Towne is a marina we work in.

Keeping the wall up is the owner's job here. The seawall guide Dania Beach publishes says every Broward city with tidal water follows the county's standard. Under it, owners must keep a tidal flood barrier in good repair. Cleaning is upkeep, not a repair, and it shows you what the wall looks like under the growth.

Pilings can be cleaned, wrapped or both. When you call, give us the wall's length in feet and the number of pilings.

Local notes for Dania Beach

The owner's duty in the guide Dania Beach publishes

The seawall guide on the City of Dania Beach's website is Broward County's regional standard. It covers every county city with tidally influenced areas, and it says all property owners must maintain a tidal flood barrier in good repair. A barrier counts as in disrepair, the guide says, when tidal water gets through or over it onto adjacent property or a public right-of-way. Once the wall is clean, you can look at its face and decide if a contractor needs to see it.

Docks inside Dania Beach Marina

Dania Beach Marina's rules say each vendor must check in with the dockmaster on every visit. An owner may not open a gate for a vendor or hand over a key. Mechanical tools used outside a boat need the dockmaster's express approval. So at that marina, the check-in comes first.

Seawall & Dock Cleaning questions in Dania Beach

Does Dania Beach hold owners responsible for their seawalls?

Yes. The seawall guide Dania Beach publishes says all property owners must maintain a tidal flood barrier in good repair. It is Broward County's regional standard, and it covers every county city with tidally influenced areas. A wall that lets tidal water through or over onto a neighbor or the street counts as in disrepair. Cleaning lets you see the wall first.

Can I let your diver through the gate at Dania Beach Marina?

No. Dania Beach Marina's rules say an owner may not open a gate for a vendor or give a vendor an access key. Each vendor has to check in with the dockmaster every time they come in. So for work at that marina our diver goes to the dockmaster first, and you do not need to meet us at the gate.

Do you wrap pilings in Dania Beach as well as clean them?

Yes. Wrapping and cleaning are both jobs we do on dock pilings in Dania Beach, on the Dania Cut-off Canal and on the Intracoastal. Harbour Towne, on the canal, is a marina our divers work in. Give us a piling count and say which you want: cleaning, wrapping or both.

Are your divers licensed and insured for seawall work in Dania Beach?

Yes. The crew that comes to your Dania Beach seawall is licensed and insured. Our base is Fort Lauderdale, and the Dania Cut-off Canal and the Intracoastal are both waters we work on. Where a dock sits inside Dania Beach Marina, the marina has every vendor check in with its dockmaster on each visit.

What do you need to know before you quote a seawall in Dania Beach?

Three things: how long the wall is, how many pilings there are and which water the dock is on. Name the Dania Cut-off Canal, the Intracoastal or the marina. If the City or the county has sent you a notice about the wall, mention that too, so we know what you need to see.
