What can be done about deteriorating wood pilings?
If you check your wood pilings at low tide and see erosion and loss of wood at or near the water line, they are being eaten up by marine borers. These nasty critters can destroy your pilings in a few years, if you let them. FORTUNATLEY, even severely decayed dock pilings can be saved by the installation of a quality “piling wrap” system. Since this “piling wrap” repair costs 25% of the dollar cost of piling replacement, your saving are substantial.
