Dock & Seawall Cleaning Naples FL —
Canal & Bay Homes
Docks and seawalls on Naples canals collect algae, bird droppings, fish residue and salt film. We clean them with hot water, brushes and the least chemical needed, since everything that drips goes into the water, and quote each property on site.

Competition
in Florida
A dock on a Naples canal or bay takes a beating. Salt spray dries on every board. Birds perch on the pilings and the rails. Fish cleaning stations leave blood, scales and oil that bake in the sun. Shaded boards under the boat lift canopy stay damp and turn green and black. All of it makes the walking surface slick.
Seawall caps get the same mix along with mower clippings and sprinkler rust from the yard side. The upper face of the wall, above the tide line, grows dark algae streaks. Cleaning the cap and the visible face makes the waterfront look kept and lets you see the condition of the concrete.
The big difference from any other job is the water. Runoff from a dock or seawall goes straight into the canal. That shapes every choice we make. We lean on hot water and scrubbing, use only small amounts of cleaner where it is truly needed, and keep soft wash solution off surfaces that drain directly into the water.
Pressure is the other concern. Wood dock boards splinter under a narrow tip. Seawall joints and weep holes should not be blasted, because forcing water into them can wash out fill behind the wall. We keep the nozzle wide and the pressure moderate on both.
Please raise the boat or move it before we arrive so spray and drips do not land on the hull or canvas. We do not wash boats.
Wood docks get a hot water wash with a wide fan tip, moving with the grain at low to moderate pressure. Bird droppings and fish residue are pre-soaked with hot water and brushed off. Where mildew is heavy and the boards drain onto land or a deck, we may use a small amount of oxygen-based cleaner.
Composite docks get hot water and soft brushes. The textured surface holds algae, so brushing matters more than pressure. We clear the gaps between boards so leaves and dirt do not hold moisture.
Concrete docks and seawall caps can take a surface cleaner with hot water. It gives an even finish and contains the spray. Rust from yard sprinklers on the cap is spot treated and rinsed toward the lawn side, away from the water.
We finish with a walk of the dock and wall, pointing out loose boards, popped fasteners, cracked caps or gaps at the wall joints. We do not repair docks or seawalls, but you will know what to show your marine contractor.

The concrete cap along your property line that collects yard dirt, rust and bird mess.

Every waterfront is different in length, material, access and condition, so dock and seawall work is quoted online. Owners often add the pool cage or house wash to the same visit.
We reach docks and seawalls from land through your yard. Let us know about gates, pets and any narrow side yards when you book.
