Eliminate slip hazards and protect your marine structures. We safely remove slippery algae and bird droppings using eco-friendly methods that keep our island waters clean.
Slip Hazard
Wet algae is as slippery as ice.
The constant exposure to moisture and tides creates a thick layer of green algae and slime on docks and piers. When wet, this surface becomes incredibly dangerous for children, guests, and crew members.
In addition to the slip hazard, acidic bird droppings and salt accumulation eat away at the wood fibers and corrode metal fasteners, shortening the lifespan of your expensive marine structure.
We understand the fragility of our ponds and harbors. We strictly adhere to "Blue Cleaning" practices, ensuring no harsh chemicals, bleach, or detergents run off into the water.
Cleaning over water requires different techniques than cleaning on land. We focus on containment and mechanical cleaning power rather than relying on heavy chemicals.
We wet the wood thoroughly and manually scrub heavy deposits of guano (bird droppings) to prevent them from becoming airborne or dissolving into the water column.
We use high-volume fresh water with specialized surface cleaners that contain the spray. This lifts the algae physically without needing bleach.
A final fresh water rinse reveals the natural wood grain, providing traction and restoring the aesthetic appeal of your waterfront property.
Whether you have a floating dock in the harbor or a fixed pier in a coastal pond, we have the hose extensions and portable units to reach it.
While we are there, ask us about our topside cleaning services for your vessel. We can rinse down decks and hulls to remove salt spray buildup.
Inquire About BoatsUsually, no. We are very careful to spray away from vessels. However, if you have canvas covers or delicate upholstery right next to the cleaning area, we may ask that they be covered or temporarily moved.
We require a freshwater spigot within 200 feet of the dock. We cannot use salt water to clean, as the goal is to remove salt.
No. We use only fresh water pressure for the majority of dock cleaning. If a cleaning agent is absolutely necessary for stubborn stains, we use biodegradable, marine-safe products that do not harm aquatic life.
Remove the slip hazard and enjoy your waterfront with peace of mind.
