Disasters occur on a daily basis, and they affect countless lives in their aftermath. First General Services of Western PA, founded in 1984, began servicing our neighbors in the Mahoning and Shenango Valleys. Everything from Water damage, to Fire and Smoke damage to your home or business; to Storm and Wind damage, to Mold, and everything in between. At First General Services of Western PA, we not only understand the need for a quick and superior response, but also the needs of our neighbors to be able to get their lives back to normal. Which is why we’ve redesigned our contents division. Because our neighbors’ homes, and their lives, just aren’t the same without their precious items in it. Our Recovery Technicians have successfully helped thousands recover from disasters, and will help you through yours, too.

Dock Building and Repair questions, answered by experts

Here are a few other considerations before you build, even if you're convinced you're in compliance with the law:

  • Are you damaging the environment? Bodies of water are often delicate ecosystems, and building a dock can be destructive and disruptive to the wildlife.

  • Are you blocking access? Lots of people like to use a lake, so you need to make sure your dock doesn't block public access to the water.

  • Can you enclose the dock? Just because you can build a dock doesn't mean you can build any dock you want. Some areas don't allow enclosed docks, for example.

  • Do you need to follow any specific rules or guidelines? Check with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) Office for Coastal Management for any guidelines you’ll need to follow, including size and type restrictions.

Docks can last between 20 and 30 years, provided regular maintenance has been performed. Upkeep tasks like staining your dock annually to prevent water damage, repairing broken elements quickly, and using dock covers regularly will help extend your dock’s life. Your dock is likely nearing the end of its lifespan when it shows signs of rot, rust, and foundation damage.

Bulging walls, cracks in the seawall's top or side, and the appearance of a seawall "pulling away" are all signs that you need repairs or reconstruction. The area around the seawall can also provide clues. For instance, you may notice water bubbling over in areas of your yard if your seawall has holes or cracks. The soil around the seawall may also appear to be sloping or sinking.

Boat docks need maintenance every year. Get an inspection at the end of each warm weather season, and remove the dock from the water if possible (if it’s made of wood) when not in use. You can also treat the wood to lessen the impact of moisture damage.

Minor repairs like replacing boards can be DIY-friendly, but structural or underwater repairs require professional expertise.
