Is your dock ready for summer? As lake season nears, now's the time to check for these five signs of dock damage:

1. Wobbly Boards: Unstable boards are a safety hazard. Address them before summer traffic begins.

2. Rusted Hardware: Corrosion weakens your dock. Failing hardware leads to costly repairs.

3. Rot or Cracks: Moisture causes wood to crack and rot. Small repairs can prevent a full replacement.

4. Unstable Structure: Uneven docks can damage boats. Instability worsens with summer use.

5. Boat Lift Problems: Noises or uneven movement indicate service is needed.

Preventative maintenance saves money. Repairing now means avoiding delays, preventing expensive repairs, ensuring safety, and enjoying the lake sooner!
