Tips for Extending the Life of Your Dock
Want to get the most out of your dock and maximize your return on investment? Here’s how you can keep your dock in top condition for longer:
-
Inspect your dock regularly for loose parts, nails coming out, rotting wood, etc. You should keep an eye out for issues every time you use your dock, and call our experts for bi-annual above and below-water inspections to catch anything you missed.
-
Clean your dock with a stiff brush and biodegradable soap. Pressure washing will quickly clean your boat dock, but should be followed by sanding to remove any splinters.
-
Seal your dock with environmentally friendly waterproof wood sealant, especially after cleaning your boat dock.
-
Remove hitchhiking organisms, like the invasive zebra mussels found in Lake Austin and Lake Travis. Call Austin Aquatic Services for safe, reliable zebra mussel removal before they damage your dock.
-
Use quality covers to protect your dock when it’s not in use. Sunlight or cold temperatures can damage your dock over time, so investing in a cover will soon pay off.
-
Install adequate rub rails and bumpers to prevent damage from your boat bouncing around. The better your rub rails and bumpers, the longer your dock will last.
Following these steps will prevent wear and tear on your dock, giving you more time to enjoy it without costly repairs or replacements.
We recommend a routine maintenance plan so our experts can keep an eye on your dock and solve any issues before they worsen. Regular dock maintenance will save you headaches and expensive repairs in the long term.
Enjoy Your Dock and Leave the Work to the Professionals
Investing in high-quality routine dock maintenance saves you thousands on an emergency dock or boat repair, plus allows you to enjoy the water worry-free. Your dock will be secured for years of safe swimming, boating, and lounging on the lake with family and guests.
