Our divers clean seawalls and dock pilings in the water in Lantana, along the Intracoastal and around Hypoluxo Island. The growth comes off below the waterline, where you cannot reach it from the dock.
A diver does this job from the water. The face of your seawall is cleaned from the waterline down, and then each piling under the dock. Barnacles, oysters and algae are what come off.
Lantana has its own checklist for piers, docks and seawalls. For a seawall, the Town wants plans that show the wall's location, its depth and its distance from the existing wall. If your wall is about to be measured and drawn for those plans, it helps to have the growth off first.
Piling wrapping is something we do as well. We are based in Fort Lauderdale, and we are licensed and insured.
The Town's Piers, Docks & Seawalls Checklist points to Section 23-134 of the Town code. For a seawall, the plans must show its location, its depth and its distance from the existing seawall. For pilings, the Town asks for a pile log before the frame inspection. Cleaning does not produce any of those papers, but it lets the people who draw them see the wall.
The Town Manager's October 2026 report tells residents that king tides are unusually high tides that can cause local flooding without any rain. It points to NOAA for tide forecasts and to Palm Beach County for how to prepare. If the water has been over your dock, tell us when you call.

Yes. Cleaning the old wall first helps when a new seawall or dock is planned in Lantana. The Town's checklist asks for plans showing the seawall's location, its depth and its distance from the existing wall. Whoever measures for those plans needs to see that wall. We take the barnacles and oysters off it before they come.
Yes. The Town of Lantana's October 2026 report warns residents that king tides can cause local flooding even without rain. It sends them to NOAA for tide forecasts and to Palm Beach County for how to prepare. If the tide has been coming over your dock, tell us when you call about the seawall.
Yes. We clean the pilings under the dock as well as the seawall, and we wrap pilings too. In Lantana that covers docks on the mainland side of the Intracoastal and around Hypoluxo Island. Have a piling count ready when you call. With that and the length of the wall, we can size the job.
Yes. 6 Feet Under is licensed and insured. We are a dive crew based in Fort Lauderdale, and Lantana is one of the coastal towns we cover between Jupiter and Miami. The work is done in the water at your dock, on the Intracoastal or around Hypoluxo Island.
Tell us where the dock is in Lantana, about how long the wall is and how many pilings it has. Say whether it is on the mainland waterfront or by Hypoluxo Island. If a new wall or dock is being planned, or the tide has been over the dock, mention that as well.
