Seawall cleaning in Delray Beach is diver work. We get in the water at your Intracoastal dock and take the growth off the wall and every piling, so you can see both again.
A diver works along your wall and around each dock piling, from the waterline down. Off come the oysters, the barnacles and the algae. When the surface is bare, the diver looks it over for damage or erosion.
Delray Beach has a seawall height rule, and it is not only for City property. A City report from July 2026 says the seawall ordinance requires public and private walls at a minimum of 4.2 feet NAVD88. Delray Beach's own project is meant to bring City walls up to that mark. Cleaning does not make a wall taller. It shows you the wall you have.
We wrap dock pilings as well as clean them. Have two numbers ready when you call: the wall's length and the piling count.
A City of Delray Beach report dated July 14, 2026 states the rule. The seawall ordinance requires both public and private seawalls at a minimum elevation of 4.2 feet NAVD88. So the rule reaches the wall behind a house, not only City property. With the growth off, you or an engineer can see the face of that wall.

The same report describes the City's Seawall Replacement and Repair Project. Its scope is the full or partial replacement of eleven City seawalls and the repair or enhancement of five, with Mangrove Park among the sites. That is the City looking after its walls. For a private wall and the pilings under your dock, the cleaning is work we do.

The City's March 26, 2026 report says the seawall along Marine Way has failed between the Atlantic Avenue Bridge and SE 1st Street. The proposed project includes a new seawall with a higher cap elevation and drainage improvements. If your dock is near Marine Way, tell us where, and whether you want the wall, the pilings or both cleaned.

Yes, Delray Beach's seawall height rule covers private walls as well as public ones. The City's July 14, 2026 report says the ordinance requires both at a minimum of 4.2 feet NAVD88. An engineer or marine contractor can tell you how your wall measures against it. We can clean the wall before they look.
Yes, the City of Delray Beach has a project to replace the failed seawall on Marine Way. Its March 26, 2026 report puts the failed stretch between the Atlantic Avenue Bridge and SE 1st Street. The plan is a new wall with a higher cap, plus drainage improvements. We clean private seawalls and dock pilings along the same Intracoastal shore.
Yes, our divers clean the dock pilings and the seawall in Delray Beach, and we wrap pilings too. Delray Beach docks sit on the Intracoastal Waterway, and that is where the diver gets in. Count the pilings before you call. That number and the footage of wall tell us the size of the job.
Yes, 6 Feet Under is a licensed and insured dive service. We are a crew based in Fort Lauderdale, and we cover the coast from Jupiter down to Miami. Delray Beach sits inside that run, so our divers come to your dock on the Intracoastal.
Have three things ready: how long the wall is, a piling count and the spot on the Intracoastal where the property sits. In Delray Beach the nearest bridge is a quick way to say it: George Bush Boulevard, Atlantic Avenue or Linton Boulevard. Say too whether you want the pilings wrapped after they are cleaned.
