FAQS
Common Questions About Stumpbusters’ Process and Results
How do stumps end up underwater?
When lakes were originally formed or filled — including reservoirs like Lake Oconee and Lake Sinclair — existing trees were often left standing. Over time those trees die and the trunks remain beneath the surface, invisible from above but dangerous to boats and swimmers.
How do you find stumps if they’re invisible?
We use specialized locating equipment to identify submerged stumps before cutting begins, particularly in high-traffic zones like swim areas, boat channels, and dock approaches.
Why don’t you use divers?
Divers working around submerged stumps in murky water face significant safety risks. Our Stumpboat eliminate that risk entirely by operating from the surface. It’s safer for our team and faster for you.
How deep can you cut the stumps?
We can cut stumps up to 12 ft below the water surface. The exact depth depends on the stump location and lake conditions, which we assess before any work begins.
Will stump removal damage my shoreline or property?
No. Stumpboat work entirely from the water. There is no land-based excavation, minimal shoreline disturbance, and no damage to your dock, landscaping, or property.
What happens to the stump debris?
All debris is handled and disposed of in compliance with local lake regulations. We leave the site clean.
Can I combine stump removal with silt dredging?
Yes, and many clients do. Stumps and silt often coexist in the same areas. We can assess both issues in a single visit and address them together for efficiency.
How do I know if I have stumps near my property?
If you’ve had unexplained prop strikes, seen debris near the surface after storms, or simply haven’t had your waterfront assessed, there may be stumps you don’t know about. A lakefront assessment is the safest way to find out.
