Common Situations
A float that has taken on water sits lower than its neighbors and feels different underfoot — you can hear the water slosh when you step on it. Pumping buys a week at most. Replacement is the real fix.
Joist damage shows up as a soft area in the deck surface away from where boards meet. We confirm with a closer look.
If the damage is at the fix-three-floats level, the cost is reasonable. If it is sister-six-joists-and-replace-four-floats level, we tell you that too — no surprises.

Common Questions
Can you just pump the water out of my floats?
Once a float has taken on water, the foam is saturated. Pumping buys a week at most. We replace them.
How do I know if my joists are bad?
Walk the dock — if one area bounces differently than the rest, or if you can see a dip, that is a joist problem. We confirm with a closer look.
Is this covered by my homeowner's policy?
Often yes, if it is from a covered event like a storm or ice. Not if it is just age and deferred maintenance. We can help you figure out which applies.
