Loss of dock power, a failed lift supply or damaged waterfront electrical equipment needs the electrical fault separated from the boat-lift mechanism.
Tell Guardian what changed, when the problem started and which locations or pieces of equipment are affected. We serve homes and businesses in Myrtle Beach , Carolina Forest and communities throughout Horry and Georgetown counties. A useful first message helps us establish the right diagnostic starting point.
We review shore-side supply, accessible dock wiring, controls and protective equipment included in the proposed assessment, with water and access conditions established first.
We agree the diagnostic scope and explain service-call or troubleshooting charges before booking. Access, equipment information and the number of affected locations influence the time needed. An intermittent fault may need more investigation than a consistently failed connection; describe any pattern without trying to reproduce an unsafe condition.
Lift machinery, submerged equipment and structural dock repairs may require other specialists. Do not enter water near a suspected electrical fault or operate damaged waterfront equipment.
The findings guide the recommendation. If an accessible connection or compatible component can be corrected, the proposed repair identifies that work. If equipment condition, unavailable parts or a larger installation issue points toward replacement, we explain the alternative before you approve an expanded scope. A repair request does not commit you to replacing the entire system.
Photographs are optional. Take them only from a safe, accessible position with electrical covers left in place. For smoke, fire or immediate danger, move to safety and call 911. For urgent electrical assistance, call Guardian at (854) 237-4771 to discuss current availability.
Faulty dock or boat equipment can energize water without an obvious visible warning. Keep people out of the water near an electrical concern and do not enter the water to investigate. Stop using damaged equipment and seek emergency help for an immediate hazard.
A professional review considers the supply, equipment, grounding and bonding, and required protective arrangements together. Bypassing a tripping protective device can hide a dangerous condition; diagnosis must come before choosing a repair.
A marina pedestal can combine vessel shore-power connections, other receptacles, lighting or metering. Start with the pedestal model, affected berth and a clear description of which function has failed. A vessel-side problem and a dock-side supply problem need coordinated but distinct investigation; operation of one receptacle does not establish the condition of the entire pedestal.
Guardian reviews the accepted dock-side electrical scope, including accessible connections, exposure and protective arrangements. Shared docks need an authorized property contact, access arrangements and notice to affected users before a planned interruption. Vessel equipment, marina administration and structural dock work retain their own assigned responsibilities. Keep people away from suspected energized water or damaged equipment rather than attempting tests yourself.

The electrical cause could be a supply, cable, control or motor fault; a mechanical problem can also load the motor. We review the equipment and when the trip occurs with the lift service provider as needed. Do not bypass ground-fault or motor protection to keep the lift moving.
We provide dock-side and boat-lift electrical work. Vessel systems, mechanical lifting components and structural repairs need their own confirmed scope. Identifying those responsibilities early keeps the diagnosis and repair coordinated.
Guardian offers free quotes for planned projects. A fault-finding visit or service call can involve a diagnostic charge, explained before booking. Access, equipment requirements and the work identified determine the proposed repair or installation scope.
Share the property address, the problem or project you have in mind, and equipment details when available. Photos of accessible equipment and the work area can help us plan the next step. Do not remove electrical covers or expose wiring to take photographs.
