Steve Rabbitt Construction - Costa Mesa's Professional Fence Installation

Earthquakes can cause the ground to shift, leading to cracked concrete footings or leaning fence posts. The lateral force often snaps wooden rails or separates panels, especially on older fences. In Costa Mesa’s soil conditions, this is common even in moderate tremors.

Look for visible cracks, warping, or gaps between panels. Check if any posts are loose or tilted. If the fence no longer stands straight or sways easily, the panels may be compromised. A professional inspection can confirm whether repair or full replacement is needed.

Absolutely. We assess all structures affected by the event, from fence posts to deck supports. Often, the same tremor can damage both, so we coordinate repairs and replacements to restore safety and appearance efficiently. We’re familiar with Costa Mesa building codes and can handle the whole job.
