Silt Fence Maintenance

How often should I inspect our silt fence?

Hello there! That is a great question! I'd be happy to give you some advice on inspecting your silt fence.

Our fences should be inspected frequently, as well as after each rainfall event, to ensure that they are intact. If gaps or tears are found, they should be repaired or the fabric should be replaced immediately.

Accumulated sediments should be removed from the fence base when the sediment reaches one-third to one-half the height of the fence to avoid failure. Sediment removal should occur more frequently if accumulated sediment is creating noticeable strain on the fabric. When the silt fence is removed, the accumulated sediment also should be removed.
