Question Answers
Why are my fence posts leaning or unstable after the dry season in San José?
In San José, extended dry periods can cause soil to shrink and pull away from fence posts, reducing their support. This creates instability or leaning. SA Build Plus Construction addresses this by excavating around loose posts, adding concrete footings, or replacing rotted posts with pressure-treated lumber. We also recommend gravel backfill to improve drainage and prevent future shifting in dry conditions.
What causes my fence stain to fade or peel within a year in San José?
Intense UV exposure and temperature swings in San José accelerate stain deterioration. Without proper preparation or weatherproofing, moisture can also cause peeling. Our solution involves stripping old stain, sanding the wood, and applying a high-quality, UV-resistant stain and sealer. We also suggest annual cleaning and reapplication to maintain color and protect against local weather extremes.
How can I tell if my retaining wall needs repair before it fails?
Signs include cracks, bulging, leaning, water pooling behind the wall, or loose mortar in masonry walls. These can escalate into collapse, especially after heavy rain. SA Build Plus Construction inspects the wall’s drainage, replaces damaged blocks or stones, and repoints mortar. For concrete walls, we may apply crack injections or install drainage pipes to relieve hydrostatic pressure and extend the wall’s life.
