My question involves real estate located in the State of: Wisconsin
Shortly after purchasing our home 10 years ago, we had our lot surveyed to determine lot lines and then put in a cedar fence around our entire backyard. The fence stands 2" within the property line. Our neighbor has a contractor/friend clear her snow every winter. Our backyard is sloped (as is hers). Along one side of the backyard, our shed stands about 18" from the lot line while on the other side of fence (about 18" from the fence) stands her garage. Her garage was built on raised and leveled land held by a retaining wall that runs along the property line on the other side of the fence. The retaining wall goes from about 12" high to 30" high roughly. Both structures were pre-existing when we bought the house. She does have a backyard and a front yard.
The problem is that the man who clears the snow piles all of the snow from her long driveway into a giant pile between the fence and garage. Snow fills the space. We live in Wisconsin where we get A LOT of snow each winter and the snow can be quite wet and heavy and take months to melt. Originally, this man would blow the snow over the fence onto our patio and shed. We asked him to stop. Then he would blow it onto the roof of our shed. We asked him to stop. Now this with the fence.
The weight of the snow along the top half of the fence is causing the fence to lean, causing premature water damage to the cedar planks and then all of the snow melts and runs into our shed, causing more damage. We have spoken with the man repeatedly. We have spoken with the neighbor. To no avail. It continues to happen daily.
Do we have any recourse? Thank you for any insight!
