Dock Cleaning

Professional Dock Cleaning Services in Southeast Florida

A clean dock isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about safety, structural integrity, and long-term protection of your investment. At Barnacle King, we provide diver dock cleaning services throughout Southeast Florida, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Palm Beach. We effectively remove algae, barnacles, and marine debris using eco-friendly cleaning solutions like underwater cavitation cleaning that preserve your dock’s structure and boost curb appeal.

Benefits of Dock Cleaning

Florida’s warm waters are ideal breeding grounds for algae and barnacles, which quickly colonize wooden, metal, and concrete docks. Left unchecked, this buildup causes more than just an eyesore—it accelerates structural decay, creates slip hazards, and contributes to long-term damage.

Here’s why routine marine dock cleaning is essential:

  • Prevents structural damage: Marine growth traps moisture and accelerates rot, corrosion, and surface degradation. Professional dock cleaning services protect against long-term deterioration.
  • Reduces slip hazards: Algae-covered surfaces are slick and dangerous. Removing this growth keeps your dock safer for foot traffic.
  • Extends lifespan: Regular cleaning can significantly delay the need for costly repairs or replacement, especially on high-use private and commercial docks.
  • Improves curb appeal: Whether you’re entertaining guests or selling waterfront property, a clean dock makes a strong first impression.

Want to protect even more of your marine infrastructure? We also offer boat lift cleaning and seawall cleaning to round out your waterfront maintenance plan.

Underwater Dock Cleaning Services

At the Barnacle King, our boat dock cleaning goes far beyond surface-level power washing. Our divers handle submerged areas of your dock with precision and care:

  • Algae and slime removal: We scrub and rinse areas prone to buildup, especially around waterlines and transitions.
  • Barnacle removal below the waterline: Our trained divers remove barnacles and growth that compromise submerged structural elements.
  • Dock footing and piling cleaning: We clean the dock’s support structures to prevent load-bearing strain.
  • Before/after visual proof: Photo documentation and dive reports provide full transparency of our cleaning process and results.

We use eco-friendly methods and diver-operated equipment to protect your property and surrounding marine life. We understand the importance of responsiveness, reliability, and proof of performance. That’s why we provide live GPS diver tracking and appointment confirmations in under 30 minutes.

Removing Barnacles from Your Dock

Barnacles do more than just cling to your dock—they trap moisture, expand cracks, and weaken structural components. If not removed, they can:

  • Eat away at wood and concrete
  • Increase drag and turbulence around docked vessels
  • Mask other hidden damage

Our dock barnacle removal process is designed to be thorough, non-destructive, and efficient. Whether you manage a commercial marina in Miami-Dade County or own a private dock in Palm Beach County, our team will clean it right the first time.

With Barnacle King, you get more than a clean dock—you get peace of mind, five-star service, and real results. Our professional dock cleaning services are trusted in Broward County and across Southeast Florida. Contact us today to learn more about our professional-grade dock maintenance services.
