ok, I don't know about you guys but my breakwater got HAMMERED by the ice this year. been on the lake since '97 and never before have I seen anything like this. took the last 15 feet of my dock off like it was butter and actually ripped out a 16" log right from of the breakwater! holy costly repair! permits, delays and significant cost not to mention what the %^&* do I do with my boat? make this an "interesting" spring. whatever.
my wife and I were at the boston marathon last year ON THE FINISH LINE when our two daughters were just about to cross the line and... well we all know what happened, fortunately nobody hurt and today we were there again so all is well. puts things like the damn ice in perspective. know what I mean? |

Repair permits are good for 5 years and now can be extended to ten years. BUT you have to request to extend the permit BEFORE it expires.

If the state allows repair permits to be on file for 10-years what is the point? Why even have repair permits. Couldn't the same be accomplished by allowing homeowners to repair damaged docks at anytime to their previous status?

Without permits, how would they get your money?

Boy that stinks! I suppose I shouldn't grumble that I have to assemble/disassemble my seasonal dock each year.
I bet anyone doing dock repairs this year will have a banner year. Better get them lined up early or you're going to be waiting till august to get it fixed. |

My dock looks much the same as the pic above. I called my insurance agent who told me I was covered. She then called me back an hour later to say the underwriter pointed out the language in my policy that excludes ice damage. The language was there so maybe I should have read the fine print. I am with Nationwide, is this standard on most policies?
Working on getting a price now but what might I expect to fix something similar to above? |

No. I don't think it would have helped in this case.We had a big SW wind and a high water level

I feel your pain, it's nothing a thousand or so dollars won't fix. BTDT. One year out of 14.

We suffer varying degrees of dock damage every 2-3 years. It all depends on which way the wind is blowing when the ice starts to move. In our case southerly winds usually cause the problem.
This year was a bit different. We had some minor damage in mid-winter. Anyway, earlier this week I called our friends at Watermark to get them lined up. They are already booking well into July! |

IF you plan to do the repairs yourself, you'd need to break out the farm jack.
Still under $50 from Harbor Freight. |

...as long as you crank your dock up high enough! Lesson learned this year: make sure you pull the dock up high enough that the legs closest to shore are high enough to avoid the rising ice as the lake refills during the early spring. Ours was OK in the Fall, but didn't give it enough clearance to account for the high spring lake levels. We lost both shore-side dock legs (Thank You, Island Girl, for spotting it this weekend and letting us know!)

in some carriers cases, you can purchase the coverage back from them, and might be surprised to find out that it would not cost all that much.
On the downside of doing that, if you put the claim in, not that your rates will go up, but you will loose your loss free credit for 3-5 years depending on carrier, which is about 10% so you ideally would just be financing your $1,000 repair instead of paying out of pocket insurance is going the way of it is only there for the major loss instead of the little things, which has caused the rates to rise, all the little things, amongst others.

Cruised most of Alton bay this weekend and didn't see much ice damage except this on west side near Pumpkin Point. You can tell that the ice was moving out of the Bay (North) when it hit this boat house.

Looks like a slush puppy might have been able to make that damage on that structure.Stills unfortunate though.
