Our divers clean seawalls and dock pilings from the water in Lighthouse Point, at docks on the city's canals. The growth comes off the wall and the piles. The City maintains 15 seawalls of its own; we clean private ones.
We clean from the water, not from the yard. A diver takes the barnacles, oysters and algae off the face of your seawall, then off each dock piling. With the growth gone, the diver looks over the surface for damage or erosion.
Fifteen seawalls in Lighthouse Point belong to the City, 11 of them along NE 39th Street. Pressure cleaning is on the City's maintenance list for those walls, beside crack sealing and partial cap replacement. We clean private walls. Concrete, caps and backfill are a marine contractor's work.
Piling wrapping is a job we do as well. For a quote, tell us the canal, the length of the wall and the number of pilings under the dock.

A safety notice went up for one of the City's seawalls on October 20, 2026. The wall is on the north side of NE 39th Street, between NE 23rd and NE 24th Avenues. After significant weekend rain, staff found damage and many voids in the ground on the landward side. The area is barricaded and the City asks people to stay off the wall, so tell us if your dock is beside it.
City of Lighthouse Point, NE 39th Street seawall safety notice
For an addition to a home on the water, the City's permit checklist asks for two signed and sealed letters from an engineer. The letters cover the condition of the seawall and whether it can support the added improvements on the land side. Have the wall cleaned before the engineer's visit, so the face is clear of growth.
The City's permit checklist for docks, seawalls and boat lifts requires an updated dock and seawall survey before the final building inspection. The survey shows the height of the seawall and the length of the dock. It does not apply to boat lifts. If you are permitting dock work, ask us about cleaning or wrapping the pilings.
