BOAT DOCK REPAIR - Seattle, WA

Boat docks often need annual repairs to keep them in working condition. Here are some repair tips to keep your dock in working condition.
Treated lumber. If your boat dock wasn’t constructed using treated lumber, make sure to remove all un-treated lumber and replace it with water-treated lumber. This will extend the life of your dock and remove the need for major repairs down the road.
Sealant. Regularly seal with deck sealer. It's best to seal your dock at least once a year. If you can, remove your dock from the water, let it thoroughly dry, then seal it.
Repair Wooden Platforms. Marine putty works extremely well in patching holes in your platforms. If your platform is beyond repair, you may need to completely replacing it.
Maintain Metal Platforms. Metal pipes should regularly be treated with a rust-resistance substance, such as a commercial lubricant. If there are holes or rusting, you can remove these older areas and weld a new piece of metal to these rough spots.
