A piling anti-lift system utilizes a heat trace cable secured around a pilin g and extending above and below the water level of the surrounding water. An annular space is formed between the piling anti-lift system. The heated pili ng anti-lift system prevents the water in the annular space from freezing and thereby prevents the piling from being subject to uplifting or heaving that results from the rising tide of surrounding frozen waters. In the event of extreme water temperatures and the freezing of the water in the formed annul ar space, the piling anti-lift system keeps the piling independent of the froze n surrounding water. In this situation, the piling anti-lift system will break free from the frozen water in the annular area and rise with the rising tide waters, thus continuing to keep the piling independent from the rising froze n tide waters.
