Wood and Vinyl Fencing Colorado Springs CO | Call T & S Enterprises

Colorado Springs has a unique climate with heavy freeze-thaw cycles. Water seeps into the soil around the post, then freezes and expands, which can shift the post. Combined with our strong winds and the sandy or clay-heavy soil common near areas like the Broadmoor, this often causes fence posts to become loose over time.

A leaning or damaged fence can sometimes indicate a hidden plumbing issue. For example, a water leak from an underground pipe near your property line can saturate the soil, softening the ground around fence posts and causing them to shift. A plumbing inspection allows us to spot these leaks early, so we can repair the pipe and then fix the fence properly.

Look for patches of unusually wet or soft ground near a fence post, especially a week after it last rained. Also, if you notice a sudden increase in your water bill, hear the sound of running water near the fence, or see a section of fence sinking unevenly, these can all be signs of a subterranean leak that needs attention.
