Is Your Dock Ready for Summer? Here's Why a Dock Inspection Should Be at the Top of Your Checklist

Summer is fast approaching, and that means long, sunny days on the lake are just around the corner! You’ve pulled the boat out of storage, cleaned off the mildew, inflated the tubes, and stocked up on sunscreen—but is your dock truly ready for the season?

When it comes to summer lake life, safety starts at the shoreline. A professional dock inspection ensures that your dock is not only safe but also compliant with current electrical and structural codes. Don't let overlooked hazards ruin your fun or put your family at risk. Here’s why a dock inspection should be a non-negotiable part of your summer prep:

Prevent Electrical Hazards

Electric shock drowning is a real and often hidden danger. Faulty or outdated wiring, ungrounded systems, and deteriorating electrical components can all pose serious risks. A comprehensive dock inspection checks for:

• Ground fault protection

• Proper grounding and bonding

• Corrosion or damage in junction boxes and conduit

• Exposed or frayed wiring

These issues can’t be seen at a glance—but they can be deadly. Let a licensed professional ensure your electrical systems are safe and up to code. 

Avoid Costly Repairs

Minor issues—if caught early—can be addressed affordably. But left unchecked, they often spiral into major, costly repairs or complete replacements. Scheduling a routine dock inspection now could save you thousands later. 

Stay in Compliance with Local Regulations

Many lakefront properties are subject to state or municipal codes for docks, especially when it comes to electrical systems or changes in water levels. A professional inspection ensures you're meeting all safety and legal requirements, so you can enjoy your dock worry-free.

Peace of Mind for the Whole Family

Whether you’re hosting weekend gatherings, teaching the kids to fish, or just soaking up the sun, your dock should be a place of fun—not concern. With a proper inspection, you’ll know it’s safe, secure, and ready for the season.
