Dock Piling Repair in Galveston, Texas
Deep South Marine Restoration serves Galveston Island waterfront property owners on Galveston Bay, West Bay, and East Bay. Expert piling protection for one of Texas's most demanding coastal environments.
Galveston Dock & Piling Restoration
Galveston Island is surrounded by water — the Gulf of Mexico to the south, Galveston Bay to the north, West Bay to the west, and East Bay to the east. This island geography gives Galveston waterfront property owners spectacular access to coastal water, but it also means every dock and piling structure on the island faces constant exposure to the biological and physical forces of the Gulf Coast marine environment.
Galveston Bay, the second-largest bay in the United States, maintains warm water temperatures through much of the year — a condition that extends the active season for Teredo shipworms and Limnoria borers well beyond what more northern coastal areas experience. West Bay and East Bay, being shallower and more enclosed than the main bay, often see even more aggressive marine borer activity.
Deep South Marine Restoration's patent-pending wrap and concrete encapsulation system provides the long-term protection that Galveston dock pilings need. Our free on-site inspections assess current damage and identify the most cost-effective path to decades of protected service life.

Yes — Deep South Marine Restoration services waterfront properties throughout Galveston Island and Galveston County, including docks on Galveston Bay, West Bay, East Bay, and the Gulf of Mexico. We offer free on-site inspections for Galveston area property owners.
Galveston Bay is a large, shallow estuary — the second largest bay system in the United States by area. Its warm, brackish waters support significant Teredo shipworm and Limnoria activity throughout the year. The bay's shallowness means water temperatures remain elevated well into fall, extending the biological attack season. West Bay and East Bay, flanking Galveston Island, present similar conditions in more enclosed environments.

Absolutely — elevated waterfront homes on Galveston Island are among the most important candidates for piling protection. Galveston is in a high hurricane risk zone, and homes built on wood pilings face both the constant biological threat and potential hurricane surge and wind loads. Our elevated home piling protection service addresses both.
Teredo shipworm internal hollowing is the most common and most dangerous damage pattern on Galveston Bay pilings. Because the damage happens invisibly below the waterline, pilings can appear sound externally while being structurally compromised internally. Our free inspection uses physical probing and percussion testing to detect this hidden damage.
