Frequently Asked Questions
Why are my fence posts leaning after the spring rains in Columbia, SC?
Many localized downpours can saturate and soften the clay-rich soils common around the Columbia area, causing fence post footings to shift. This is a frequent problem noted in neighborhoods like Shandon and Forest Acres. As a solution, Veteran Fencing And Excavation can excavate around the affected posts, backfill and compact the soil properly, and reinforce or replace the posts. We also offer land grading to improve drainage around your fence line, preventing future leaning.
My automatic gate near Fort Jackson won’t close properly after a storm. What’s the likely cause and how can you fix it?
Storm debris or heavy winds can damage gate hinges or misalign the gate track, especially on automatic models. Moisture can also affect electrical components. We inspect for physical obstructions, realign the gate frame, and check the automatic opener. If needed, our team handles manual or automatic gate repair and can weatherproof exposed wiring or hardware to prevent future failures.
We’re starting a new construction project in the Vista area. How do you prepare the site before we build a fence or gate?
Proper site preparation is essential for a long-lasting fence or gate. Our excavation crew performs land clearing, rough and finish grading, and trench digging for utility runs. We backfill and compact the soil to create a stable base. After grading, we install the fence or gate system, then seal or weatherproof it. This comprehensive approach prevents drainage issues and ensures the structure remains secure in Columbia’s variable weather.
