How to Remove & Dispose of a Damaged or Old Wooden Fence
A wooden fence is a classic choice for creating a border around your home or other property. With good materials and maintenance, a fence made of wood can last anywhere from fifteen to twenty years. However, even if you take the time to maintain your fence, there will come a time when you might need to replace it. Because fences are outdoors, they are at the mercy of the elements and can get damaged by everything from storms to pests. In this article, we will discuss how to remove a wooden fence, dispose of it, and how Daniel J. Clifford & Son can help with our professional dumpster rental services.
How To Prepare For Removing a Wooden Fence
Before you remove your fence you should take a visual inspection of the fence and note any issues with its conditions. You should inspect your fence for any signs of rot or damage. In some cases, it is worth it to just replace the damaged sections of a fence and leave the rest of the fence up. To that point, some communities have fences that might be partially on your property and partially on your neighbor’s property. You should check with your HOA or community to make sure it is ok to remove and replace your fence if it is attached to a fence on other properties. Another thing to consider is if there are any water lines, phone cables, or other utilities tangled in your fence. After a storm, this can sometimes happen. If there are any neighborhood utilities sitting on your fence, you should call someone else to remove them.
Renting a Dumpster Is the Most Convenient & Affordable Way to Dispose of Damaged or Old Wooden Fences
