Storm Damage Fence Repair in Austin TX

What to do when storms damage your fence. Emergency repair options, insurance claim tips, and how to get your fence restored quickly.

Common Storm Damage to Fences in Austin

Central Texas severe weather can cause significant fence damage. High winds, hail, fallen trees and branches, and flooding are the most common causes. Here is what to look for and what to do after a storm.

Wind Damage

High winds can push fence panels over, break posts at ground level, and rip boards loose. Privacy fences with solid panels are most vulnerable because they act as sails.

Fallen Trees & Branches

Falling trees and heavy branches can crush fence sections. The weight can break posts, rails, and panels simultaneously. Sometimes the tree removal itself causes additional damage.

Flood & Water Damage

Standing water and flooding can undermine fence post foundations, causing leaning or collapse. Prolonged moisture exposure accelerates wood rot in untreated fences.

What to Do After Storm Damage

1.
Document the damage -- Take photos and video from multiple angles before cleaning up or making temporary repairs.
2.
Contact your insurance company -- Most homeowners insurance covers fence damage from storms, fallen trees, and wind. File your claim promptly.
3.
Call us for emergency repair -- We provide same-day emergency service to secure your property. Temporary repairs prevent further damage and keep pets and children safe.
4.
