Dean Excavating - Texarkana's Top-Rated Wood and Vinyl Fencing

Termite damage is common in Texarkana due to the humid climate and abundant moisture in soil near fence posts. Over time, termites weaken the wood, causing rails to loosen and posts to rot. Dean Excavating can help by performing total or partial demolition of the damaged fence, excavating the affected posts and roots, and preparing the site for a new, termite-resistant fence installation. We also offer trench digging to install physical barriers or drainage solutions that discourage future termite activity.

Key signs include visible hollow spots in wooden posts, sagging or loose rails, sawdust-like frass at the base, and posts that wobble easily. If you notice these issues, the damaged sections may need to be removed to prevent collapse. Dean Excavating provides exterior surface demolition to take down compromised panels and interior demolition if the fence is attached to a structure. We then excavate the old post holes to ensure a clean, stable foundation for new fencing.

After we demolish and remove the damaged fence, we excavate the old post holes to a proper depth, often deeper than the original to avoid residual termite nests. We then use trench digging to create a level base and may recommend gravel or concrete footings. This process, combined with our excavation services, ensures your new fence has a solid, long-lasting foundation that resists shifting and pest intrusion.
