Fence Removal

 

Who Owns The Fence?

 

Make sure you have the authorization to get rid of the fence around your East Orange area home or business. Border concerns are common among neighbors, so you must first determine who owns the fence and is responsible for preserving any fencing before you remove it. 

In many instances, getting your neighbors on board can be done with a friendly chat and explaining that you will replace the fence with a newer, safer, and more secure version. Suppose you are also planning to dig up fence posts. In that case, you might want to contact your East Orange or Essex County energy service providers, too– digging up the posts could trigger problems if you don’t understand what else is running underneath.

 

Getting Rid Of The Fencing Panels In East Orange, NJ

 

Many old fences require panels to be changed– the posts are often still safe and can be used to hang your brand-new panels.

There are a couple of ways you can take your Essex County fence down; you can use an electrical saw to cut the material down and remove it, or you can use a hammer to bang out the boards, remove the nails, and salvage the fencing materials. Be cautious when removing each fence board, and use gloves to avoid splinters.

If the fencing posts are rotten or leaning, you need to remove them.

Many fence posts have concrete footings, so eliminating them can be challenging, and you might need a little help. The two post removal options are digging the fence post out and levering it out. Digging the fence post out will displace a lot of soil, but you will have holes ready to re-pour concrete and change your posts quickly. Levering the post out can take longer and poses a greater risk of injury.

Posts that go straight into the ground are easily eliminated and can simply be rocked loose.
