Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know if my canal or dock area needs dredging?
- Signs include your boat scraping bottom at low tide, noticeably less water depth than when you moved in, or visible sand and silt buildup near your dock or lift.
- Is dredging permitted work?
- Yes, dredging requires permits from the city and often the Florida DEP, since it affects regulated waterways.
- How often does a canal need dredging?
- This depends on your canal's sediment flow and location, but many homeowners find they need maintenance dredging every several years.
- Will dredging affect my neighbors' canal access?
- Dredging is typically scoped to a specific property or slip, but larger projects near shared canal sections may involve neighboring properties. A contractor can explain the scope before work begins.
- What happens to the sediment that's removed during dredging?
- Removed material is typically hauled off-site and disposed of in accordance with local and state environmental regulations, since canal sediment often can't simply be dumped elsewhere.
- Can I still use my dock while dredging is happening?
- It depends on the project's scope and equipment used. Ask your contractor about access during the work, especially if you need to move a boat during the project.
