What Helene did at the Sponge Docks

Water went over the seawall at the Sponge Docks, and one restaurant on Dodecanese Boulevard reported 4 feet in its kitchen (WUSF). Private docks on the bayous took the same water.

After a flood, sound the pilings and check the wiring before quoting new boards.

Why it matters

Idle speed bayous

Several bayous are idle speed zones under city code, so wake damage is lower. Age, marine growth and storm water remain the main causes of dock wear.

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