Free inspections
Dock damage from winter ice in Toms River?
Frozen Ocean County lagoons can lift, shift and crack dock pilings overnight. We offer free post-winter inspections across Toms River, Brick and Bayville — book before warm weather hits.
What ice does
A bad winter can ruin a good dock.
When lagoons freeze and shift, the ice grips your pilings and pulls them in every direction. Even one cold snap can loosen piles, crack supports, and weaken the structure long before it visibly fails.
Catching damage early means a quick re-drive or hardware swap. Wait too long and you’re looking at full pile replacement — or worse, a dock failure during boating season.
Warning signs
- Piles leaning, twisting, or pulled upward out of the bay bottom
- Cracks, splits, or splintering at the waterline
- Loose or missing hardware on dock framing
- Decking that has shifted, bowed, or separated from supports
- Boat lifts or jet ski platforms sitting unevenly
- Visible movement or wobble when walking on the dock
