Our divers clean seawalls and dock pilings underwater in Pompano Beach, at docks behind homes and in marinas. Barnacles, oysters and algae come off the wall and the piles.
A diver gets in the water at your dock, works along the wall and around every piling, and takes the growth off at the waterline and below it. The wall stays where it is. So does the dock.
Pompano Beach puts the wall on the owner. City code says a tidal flood barrier, which includes a seawall, must be kept in good repair. An owner who is cited has 60 days to show progress and 365 days to finish the repair. Cleaning is not a repair. It gives you, or the engineer you hire, a clear look at the wall first.
We also wrap dock pilings. When you call, tell us about how long the wall is and how many pilings the dock has.
The City's own guide says owners must maintain a tidal flood barrier in good repair. After a citation, the owner has to show progress on the cited defect within 60 days and finish the repairs within 365 days. Cleaning does not fix a cited defect. It shows what the defect is.
City of Pompano Beach, Regional Standards for Seawalls and Flood Barriers
If the wall is below five feet NAVD88 and you plan to change a dock, a piling or a boat lift, the City requires your contractor to submit a cost analysis. It has to include the estimated cost of raising the wall to five feet. Have the wall and the pilings cleaned before that estimate, so the contractor is looking at the wall and not at the growth on it.

Yes. Pompano Beach requires owners to keep tidal flood barriers, which include seawalls, in good repair under Chapter 151 of the City code. An owner who is cited must show progress within 60 days and finish the repair within 365 days. Cleaning is the upkeep you can do before any of that.
Yes, if the wall is low. When a Pompano Beach seawall is below five feet NAVD88, the City wants a cost analysis from your contractor for any dock, piling or boat lift change, including the cost of raising the wall. A clean wall lets the contractor see what is there.
