When you live by the coast marine maintenance quickly becomes part of your everyday routine. If you don't take care of your jetty or pontoons, you will soon have a significant maintenance problem that could disrupt your work schedule or even cause a danger to anyone living or working nearby.
How does a jetty become damaged? — Sometimes, damage is simply wear and tear as your floating jetty is regularly used. At other times, your jetty may have suffered a collision with a vessel, or perhaps it may have experienced weather damage. Whatever the cause of the damage a professional jetty repair company will know how to get it looking as good as new again.
How can you spot potential maintenance issues? — Fixing damaged pontoons is always a cheaper and faster option than building a replacement structure. You should start a maintenance regime by ensuring that the structure is kept clean and tidy, this will make it much simpler to spot potential problems as they arise so that you can call a repair professional at an early stage before the situation has deteriorated. Once the pontoon structure is clean, you can inspect it for damage and any signs of wear. In addition to the pontoons themselves, you will need to carefully examine the connections between pontoons and any metal or wooden components to see whether they are in good condition or whether they should be repaired or replaced. Your jetty repair company will be able to help you source the replacement parts you need and can carry out any work necessary.
Why use a professional jetty repair company? — Perhaps you may be wondering whether you should consider doing the repair work yourself instead of hiring a professional repair company. You can certainly carry out the work yourself but if you do so you will need to ensure that all of the repairs are fully compliant with the relevant national safety standards. A professional company will not only be fully conversant with the relevant standards but they will have the experience to meet those standards quickly and affordably. They will be able to assess any damage and to devise the most long-lasting, cost-effective repair solution. Whether you are looking for a major repair or an alteration to your existing jetty, they will know what needs to be done, and they will be able to find a way to do it for you.
