Ormond Beach Dock Inspection

We conducted another Level I dock inspection yesterday in Ormond Beach. The inspection was to determine if the existing dock was viable enough for a boat lift. Unfortunately, many of these pilings had evidence of advanced marine borer infestation. That's why preventative actions like wrapping pilings and regular cleanings/inspections are important. Catching a marine borer infestation early can save a dock.

This piling was severely damaged from a marine borer infestation.

Marine borers like ship worms are capable of moving from one wooden structure to the next. Ship worm larvae can be adrift for up to 30 days before attaching to a host structure.
