Dock Cable Inspections & Replacements at Lake of the Ozarks
What you see above the water doesn't tell the whole story.
A dock cable can look fine from the dock and still have problems under the surface.
LOZ Dive provides dock cable inspections and replacements throughout Lake of the Ozarks. Our commercial divers go below the waterline to visually inspect the part of the cable you can't see from above. If an inspection identifies a cable that needs replacement, our team can handle the replacement too.

Why Dock Cable Inspections Matter
Catch a Worn Cable Before It Snaps
Your dock cables hold your dock in place.
Over time, fraying and corrosion can weaken a cable. That kind of wear doesn't always look serious at first. But a cable with visible deterioration may be getting close to failure.
If a dock cable snaps, your dock may be able to swing or move. Depending on where it sits, it could contact a neighboring dock or the shoreline.
A cable inspection helps identify worn or failing cables so they can be replaced before they break. Finding the problem early may help you avoid a bigger dock repair later.
Replace the worn cable on your schedule, not after it snaps.
Above the Water vs. Below the Water
A Surface Inspection Can't Show You What's Below the Waterline
Most people check their dock cables by looking at them from the dock. That's a good start. But it only shows you the part of the cable that sits above the water.
From Underwater with LOZ Dive
- A commercial diver goes into the water
- The diver visually inspects the cable below the surface, along its accessible underwater length
- We look for visible fraying, corrosion, deterioration and other concerns
This is one of LOZ Dive's biggest advantages. Our commercial divers can evaluate the portions of the cable that can't be adequately inspected from the surface, so you're not relying only on what's visible from the dock.
Dock Cable Inspection
What We Look For
Above the water and below it, our team checks each accessible section of cable for signs of wear.
Visible Fraying
Broken or separating strands along the cable.
Corrosion
Rust and corrosion that can weaken a cable over time.
Visible Deterioration
Wear or damage that shows the cable is breaking down.
Signs of Near Failure
Areas of the cable that appear close to failing and should be replaced.
Dock Cable Replacement
Inspection and Replacement From One Team
When an inspection shows a cable needs replacement, LOZ Dive can handle the replacement too.
You don't have to find a second company, explain the problem all over again or wait on someone else's schedule. The team that found the problem can fix it.
If a cable has already snapped, call or text us. We offer 24/7 emergency service.

Dock Cable Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What are signs that a dock cable may need replacement?
Visible fraying, corrosion and other deterioration are all signs a cable may be wearing out. Some sections can look close to failure. Keep in mind that wear can also sit below the waterline where you can't see it from the dock.
Can you inspect dock cables underwater?
Yes. Our commercial divers go below the surface and visually inspect the cable along its accessible underwater length, looking for fraying, corrosion, deterioration and other concerns.
Why isn't an above-water cable inspection always enough?
Looking from the dock only shows you the part of the cable above the water. The section below the surface can't be adequately inspected from above. A diver can see it up close.
What happens if a dock cable snaps?
If a cable snaps, your dock may be able to swing or move. It could contact another dock or the shoreline. If a cable has already snapped, call or text us. We offer 24/7 emergency service.
Can LOZ Dive replace a cable after inspecting it?
Yes. If we find a cable that needs to be replaced, our team can handle the replacement. You don't need to hire a second company.
Do you inspect shore cables and winch cables?
Call or text us about any cable on your dock, whether you call it a dock cable, shore cable or winch cable. You don't need to know the exact terminology. Tell us what you're seeing, and our team can evaluate the situation.
