Questions and Answers
What causes gate hardware to freeze in Madison winters?
Gate hardware freezes when moisture accumulates in the ground or around posts, then expands in cold temperatures. Poor drainage is a common cause, especially after heavy snowmelt. Our trench digging services can install French drains or redirect water away from gateposts, preventing ice buildup and ensuring smooth operation through the season.
How can I tell if my fence posts are rusting from the inside?
Signs include orange stains on the metal, flaking paint, or a wobbly gate. Over time, trapped moisture causes internal corrosion, weakening the structure. We offer excavation to remove and replace rusted posts with galvanized steel or treated wood, and we can also improve drainage around the base to extend your fence's life.
Can excavation services help fix a sagging gate caused by frozen ground?
Absolutely. When the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly, it shifts fence posts, causing gates to sag. We use trench digging to access and reset posts on stable footings, often adding gravel for drainage. This resolves the misalignment and prevents future movement, keeping your gate level and easy to close.
