Did you get what you paid for?
A recent dock inspection revealed that the pilings were only wrapped on top, where it could be seen. Here’s how to make sure you got what you paid for.
Isopods are Everywhere
Even docks built with treated lumber are vulnerable to attack from marine wood borers. One species of isopod is tolerant of all treated lumber, even creosote. Sphaeroma Terebans closely resembles its terrestrial counterpart, the “roly poly” and even rolls into a ball when removed from its burrow.
Ormond Beach Dock Inspection
We conducted another Level I dock inspection yesterday in Ormond. The inspection was to determine if the existing dock was viable enough for a boat lift.
When to Wrap Pilings
When pilings are wrapped prior to being driven, the wrap can be damaged. On bottom the wrap can be torn or ballooned out, making the wrap ineffective.
