Fences serve a variety of purposes. For example, they act as boundaries separating your property from that of your neighbors, and they act as an additional barrier against trespassers. They can also help keep pets and young children inside your yard, while keeping prying eyes out. Our team at Detail Fence LLC has extensive experience in installing and repairing fences, and we can help you keep your fence in excellent condition. We encourage you to keep reading to learn a few ways to tell if you need fence repair services.
- Fence Components Are Damaged — One way to tell if you need fence repair is to examine the individual parts of your fence, such as the fenceposts and pickets. As you inspect your fence, count the number of total components and the number of components showing damage—if more than 20% of the pieces of your fence are damaged, then we encourage you to schedule fence repair services as soon as possible.
- Fence Is Leaning — Another way to determine if you need fence repair is to check the angle of your fence. If your fence is in good condition, it should stand upright, perpendicular to the ground. If your fence is leaning by more than 10 degrees, then we encourage you to call our team.
- Fence Is Rotting or Rusting — A third way to tell if you need fence repair services is to test your fence for signs of rot (if the fence is made of wood) or rust (if it’s made of metal). If your wood fence feels spongey when you apply pressure, or if there is visible corrosion on your metal fence, then you should contact our team as soon as possible.
