Do the submerged pilings get inspected occasionally?
It might have gone down due to other structural issues for all I know.
In FL, pilings can have a wood boring worm infestation that hollows out their insides.
It's a time bomb especially if the pilings are for a lift.
My friend lost a piling and that holed his boat and set it adrift.
The boat partially sank and was ultimately scrapped.
I had divers inspect and video my pilings.
There were many worm holes present.
The new pilings are wrapped in black vinyl sleeves to prevent this.
