Palm Beach, FL

Seawall and piling cleaning on the Palm Beach lagoon shore

This is underwater work. Our diver starts at one end of your seawall and takes the barnacles, oysters and algae off its face, from the waterline down. The pilings under the dock get the same.

Palm Beach has a rule about the condition of seawalls. The Town's code says every seawall must be kept in good condition, with no cracks or holes that let sand through. A crack under a band of oysters stays hidden. Once the growth is off, you can check the wall yourself or show it to a marine contractor.

We wrap dock pilings as well. Our crew is based in Fort Lauderdale and comes up the coast to Palm Beach. We are licensed and insured.

Local notes for Palm Beach

The Town's rule on the condition of a seawall

Section 62-77 of the Town code says all bulkheads and seawalls in Palm Beach must be maintained in good condition. They must protect upland and foreshore property, limit wave overtopping, and have no cracks or holes that let sand pass. The Town's Code Enforcement Board listed seawall cases under this section on its June 18, 2026 agenda. With the growth off, you can see if the wall has a crack or a hole.

Oceanfront walls: where a rebuilt one can stand

Ordinance 010-2026, explained in the Town's April 2026 newsletter, covers bulkheads and seawalls along the Atlantic Ocean. Without a variance, a new or rebuilt wall may sit landward of the Town's ocean bulkhead line. It may also sit up to 18 inches seaward of an existing bulkhead. When you call, tell us which shore your wall is on and whether a rebuild is planned.

Seawall & Dock Cleaning questions in Palm Beach

Does Palm Beach make owners keep their seawalls in good condition?

Yes. The Town of Palm Beach requires every seawall and bulkhead to be maintained in good condition, with no cracks or holes that let sand through. An owner who lets a wall go can be brought before the Town's Code Enforcement Board. Having the growth cleaned off is the first step in checking a wall against that rule.

Will cleaning show me cracks or holes in my Palm Beach seawall?

Yes. With the barnacles and oysters off, the face of the wall is bare, and a crack or a hole can be seen. Palm Beach's rule is that a seawall has no cracks or holes that let sand through. Cleaning does not close a crack. It lets you, or a marine contractor, find it and decide what to do.

Can you clean the pilings under my Palm Beach dock along with the seawall?

Yes. Our divers clean the pilings under your Palm Beach dock as well as the seawall, and we wrap dock pilings too. Count the pilings and pace off the wall before you call. With those two numbers we can talk about the job on your stretch of the lagoon shore.

Are you licensed and insured to work at a Palm Beach dock?

Yes. We are licensed and insured, and we come to your Palm Beach dock from our base in Fort Lauderdale. The town is inside the stretch of coast we cover, from Jupiter to Miami. The work is done in the water, along your wall on the lagoon shore.

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

Tell us about how long the wall is, how many pilings the dock has and where on the island it is. Say whether the wall faces the lagoon or the ocean. If the Town has written to you about the wall, or a rebuild is planned, tell us that too.
