WB Excavating & Development | Local Privacy Fence Installation in Westfir, OR

The main cause is our region's heavy clay and seasonal saturation, which can shift and soften the ground. Over time, this destabilizes fence posts, especially after heavy rain. WB Excavating addresses this by first assessing the soil condition and then using proper excavation and grading to create a stable base before setting new posts or adjusting existing ones.

Signs like widespread rot, rust on automatic gate components, or posts that repeatedly loosen after rain indicate it’s time for a replacement or a full weatherproofing treatment. If your manual gate drags on the ground or an automatic gate won’t close properly, it could mean the fence line has settled. We can inspect the structure and recommend whether a targeted repair, regrading of the area, or a complete installation is the best solution.

Absolutely. We handle the full scope: from trench digging for electrical lines and proper drainage to manual or automatic gate installation and repair. In Westfir, water pooling near gate posts is common, so we often combine land grading with gate weatherproofing to keep the mechanism and posts dry and functional for years.
