Dock Piling Repair in Gulf Shores, Alabama
Deep South Marine Restoration serves Gulf Shores waterfront property owners on Little Lagoon, Bon Secour Bay, and the Intracoastal Waterway. Expert piling protection for one of Alabama's most demanding coastal environments.
Gulf Shores Dock & Piling Restoration
Gulf Shores occupies a narrow peninsula between the Gulf of Mexico and Little Lagoon — giving waterfront property owners access to some of the most scenic, and most biologically demanding, waters on the Gulf Coast. Little Lagoon's shallow, warm, high-salinity waters are particularly aggressive for wood-boring organisms: Teredo shipworms and Limnoria borers thrive in this enclosed environment and attack unprotected pilings relentlessly.
The Intracoastal Waterway, which runs through Gulf Shores, adds constant vessel traffic and wake energy that physically stresses dock structures. Bon Secour Bay to the north offers somewhat more protected conditions but still presents significant biological pressure. And any Gulf-front structures face the full saltwater environment of the Gulf of Mexico.
Deep South Marine Restoration's patent-pending piling wrap and concrete encapsulation system is designed for exactly these conditions. We service Gulf Shores regularly and can provide free on-site inspections that assess the full range of threats your specific dock faces.

Gulf Shores properties face some of the most aggressive conditions for dock pilings on the Gulf Coast. Little Lagoon's shallow, enclosed, high-salinity water is extremely favorable for Teredo shipworms. The Intracoastal Waterway brings constant vessel traffic and associated wake. Gulf-front structures face full saltwater and wave exposure. Each of these environments accelerates piling deterioration in different ways.
