FAQs

What causes fence posts to become unstable after a storm in Tampa, and how can you fix it?

The main cause is often soil saturation and erosion from heavy rain, which loosens the ground around the post. Combined with high winds, the post can shift or rot. Our solution involves assessing the damage, sometimes replacing rotted sections, and then resetting the post with proper concrete footings or gravel to improve drainage. We also offer regrading and drainage solutions to prevent future erosion around your fence.

My fence is showing signs of erosion from flooding near my yard. What are the warning signs I should look for?

Common signs include visible soil washout at the base of fence posts, leaning sections, cracks in nearby concrete or walkways, and wood rot or rust on metal components near ground level. If you notice any of these, it's best to act quickly to avoid a complete collapse. We can perform a thorough inspection and recommend repairs or weatherproofing treatments.

Can you install a new gate or fence that is more resistant to Tampa’s weather and flooding?

Yes. For new installations, we recommend materials like pressure-treated wood, vinyl, or powder-coated aluminum that resist moisture and rot. We also install proper drainage systems and use deep-set concrete footings to prevent future instability. Our team handles automatic and manual gate installation as well, ensuring your gate operates smoothly even in wet conditions.
