Restore & Protect with Snapjacket Piling Repair

Dock pilings are constantly exposed to harsh marine environments, leading to rot, decay, and damage from marine borers like shipworms. Over time, this deterioration weakens the structural integrity of your dock, making it unsafe and costly to repair. The SnapJacket piling repair is the ultimate solution to restore and protect your pilings without the need for full replacement.

What Is a SnapJacket?

A SnapJacket is a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) shell that encases a deteriorating wooden piling, providing a permanent barrier against further damage. Once installed, the space between the piling and the SnapJacket is filled with concrete, essentially creating a reinforced piling that is stronger and more durable than before.

Benefits of a SnapJacket Piling Repair:

• Restores strength - Encasing and filling the piling with concrete reinforces the structure

• Prevents further decay - Seals out marine borers and stops wood rot.

• Cost-effective - Avoids the high cost of full piling replacement.

• Long-lasting - Made from durable HDPE that withstands harsh marine environments.

• Eco-friendly - Reduces the need to remove and replace pilings, minimizing environmental disruption.

How We Install a SnapJacket

At Protect My Pilings, we handle the entire SnapJacket repair installation process professionally and efficiently. Here’s how it works:

1. Assess the Piling - We inspect your dock pilings to determine the level of damage and the appropriate SnapJacket size.

2. Position the SnapJacket - The two-piece jacket is placed around the existing piling and snapped together to form a sealed shell.

3. Secure the Jacket - We ensure a tight fit to prevent shifting and prepare for the concrete pour.

4. Fill with Concrete - The jacket is filled with high-strength concrete, which solidifies inside and around the damaged wood, creating a reinforced piling.

5. Final Inspection - Once the concrete sets, we inspect the installation to ensure durability and stability.
