Boat salvage on Joe Pool Lake and beyond

We know the waters around Arlington, TX don't forgive mistakes. Between the activity at local marina docks, shifting weather on Joe Pool Lake, and the pressure of a vessel in peril, every minute counts. Our marine salvage service covers all types of emergency response situations, from a grounded boat to a wrecked hull taking on water. We work with residential and commercial clients across Arlington and throughout Tarrant County, and our salvage process is built to safely and efficiently recover vessels of any size.

We're a local company rooted in Arlington, TX, and vessel recovery without environmental damage is something we take seriously. Grounded, wrecked, or stuck at a dock, we've got you covered.

Types of salvage situations we handle on Arlington waters

We offer a full range of recovery services designed for the unique challenges of Lake Arlington and the Trinity River.

  • Damaged vessel recovery — We bring lift bags, pumps, and rigging to every job, working fast to stabilize your boat and get it back to safe ground before a bad situation becomes a total loss. Our salvage process starts the moment we get your call.
  • Grounded vessel assistance — Before we touch anything, we do a full assessment to protect against hull damage. Then we carefully refloat the grounded vessel or wrecked vessel and coordinate safe transport, leaving nothing to chance.
  • Underwater operations — Our certified divers handle the hard stuff: hull inspections, patching, and rigging in low-visibility water. These are the types of salvage situations we handle that most crews won't touch, and we do it right.
  • Environmental containment and mitigation — From the minute we arrive, we deploy containment booms and manage all hazardous materials responsibly. Protecting Lake Arlington and local waterways is part of every boat salvage job we run. If you're working with insurance coverage for salvage, we document everything to support your claim.

Why our salvage process gets it done right

When you've got a vessel in peril, you need more than a crew that shows up and shrugs. You need people who stay on the job until it's done. Here's why we're the right call.

  • We handle the tough jobs — Our crew and certified divers work through submerged obstacles and accessibility issues that send other companies packing. Whether it's a complicated recovery on Lake Arlington or a tricky channel situation, our salvage process is built for the jobs nobody else wants to touch. We recover what others leave behind.
  • 24/7 emergency readiness — Day or night, storm or calm, our team is on standby. We're moving when you call, not when it's convenient for us. The types of salvage situations we handle don't wait for business hours, and neither do we.
  • Asset protection and environmental care — Our mission runs two directions at once. We work fast to prevent further damage to your boat's value, and we contain any fuel or fluid threats to Arlington's waterways immediately. Both matter. Neither gets skipped.
  • Direct insurance support — Dealing with insurance after a loss is rough. We provide clear, professional documentation to streamline your insurance claim, cutting down the back-and-forth and the paperwork. Insurance coverage for salvage is something we know well, and we make sure you're not left figuring it out alone.
