After the 2024 flooding

Motors and switch boxes that went under can keep working for months before they fail. Opening the gearbox and checking the cable strands tells you which lifts are at risk.

Permits for structural work

New pilings or a new lift frame need county Water and Navigation approval before the city building permit, and the City Engineer signs off on it. A motor or cable repair alone does not change the structure.

Why it matters

Moving a lift

A relocated lift has to fit the same placement rules as a dock: the center third of the frontage, or 50 feet from the neighbor.

A free inspection tells you which one you are looking at.

What a free inspection includes

A contractor comes to your property, looks at the structure above and below the waterline where needed, and tells you what is actually happening.

You get a written scope and estimate. No obligation, no trip fee.

  • On-site assessment of the structure and surrounding soil
  • Photos and a plain-English explanation of the problem
  • Written estimate with scope and materials
  • Repair versus replacement guidance where both are options
