These Things Should Be Checked Yearly

Floating Docks

Floats:

  • Seam check: Most floats have a seam midway up. If water reaches this line, the float must be replaced as it no longer provides adequate buoyancy. Failure to replace waterlogged floats can lead to damage, as they pull down on the dock and increase strain from waves.

Pilings:

  • Condition: Ensure pilings are free of splits, cracks, gouges, or significant rub marks.

Piling Brackets:

  • Stability: Brackets should not move up, down, or side-to-side. Ensure all bolts are tight and free of rust.

Dock:

  • Levelness: The dock should be level across all areas.

Decking:

  • Inspection: Check for rot or cracks in deck boards. If these are present, the underlying structural boards may be in worse condition.
  • Maintenance: Wood decking should be sealed or stained every 1–3 years. Lighter-colored sealers or stains have a shorter lifespan.

Roof:

  • Support posts: All vertical posts should be free of significant cracks or splits. Cracks larger than 1/4 the dimension of the support need to be inspected by a licensed contractor.

Railing:

  • Stability: Railing posts should be sturdy, without any movement or flexing.


Fixed Docks

Cross Member Supports:

  • Integrity: Ensure all cross members (the "X" supports between pilings) are intact and free from rot.

Bolts:

  • Condition: All bolts should be tight and free from rust.

Pilings:

  • Condition: Pilings should be free of splits and cracks.

Decking:

  • Inspection: Check deck boards for any signs of rot or cracking. Structural boards underneath may be in worse condition if the deck is compromised.
  • Maintenance: Wood decking should be sealed or stained every 1–3 years. Lighter-colored sealers or stains have a shorter lifespan.

Roof:

  • Support posts: All vertical posts should be free of significant cracks or splits. Cracks larger than 1/4 the dimension of the support should be inspected by a licensed contractor.

Railing:

  • Stability: Railing posts should be solid, without any movement or flexing.
