DoubleU Construction: Excavation & Fence Services in Saint Martinville, LA

Privacy fence blowouts often happen due to high winds combined with shallow or poorly set posts in our area’s soft, moist soil. The posts can loosen over time, causing the fence to lean or fall. DoubleU Construction uses trench digging and proper excavation to create deep, stable post holes with adequate drainage. This prevents water from pooling around the posts, reducing the risk of rot and blowouts, even during storms.

Fence post rot is common here because of the high humidity and frequent rain, which keeps soil consistently damp. Wood posts absorb moisture, leading to decay at the base. Signs include soft or crumbly wood near the ground, a leaning fence, or mushrooms growing around the post base. DoubleU Construction can excavate the area, remove rotted posts, and install new ones with gravel or concrete footings to improve drainage and extend the fence’s life.

Yes, trench digging is an effective solution for redirecting water away from fence lines. In neighborhoods near Bayou Teche, poor drainage can saturate the soil around fence posts, accelerating rot. DoubleU Construction can dig trenches to install French drains or simple drainage channels. This keeps the ground drier around your fence, preventing moisture-related damage and helping your fence stay upright and durable for years.
