I have a stationary dock at a lake house; it is about 12 years old and sagging in a few areas, some as much as five inches; the power company is lowering the water and I'll have the chance to level it; what is the best way to level a sagging dock??
This is a rather large dock as it has a second story, two boat lifts and a jetski lift; it is only about five to six feet above the mud bottom of the lake

Unfotunately There Is Too Much Wieght To Try And Level It Your Self The Way Most Of These Are Constructed The Posts Are Sunk Into The Mud By Using A Jetpump. Over Time They Settle Futher Into The Mud. This Can Be Caused By Waves Liftin The Dock Up And Down Acting Like A Pile Driver. Replacing Or Disassembling The Sagging Sections May Be Your Only Way
