FAQs
What causes fence posts to heave or lean after winter in Lapeer?
Frost heave occurs when moisture in the soil freezes and expands, pushing posts upward. This is common in Lapeer’s clay-heavy soil. Signs include leaning gates or gaps under the fence. Action Fence addresses this by setting posts below the frost line and using gravel backfill for drainage.
How can I tell if my wooden fence is rotting from Michigan’s wet winters?
Look for soft or splintered spots near the ground, discoloration, or a musty smell. Rot often starts at post bases. Action Fence can replace affected sections with rot-resistant cedar or vinyl, and recommends sealing wood annually to prevent moisture damage.
What’s the best way to fix a gate that won’t close properly after a freeze-thaw cycle?
Sagging gates are often due to loose hinges or shifting posts. Action Fence can realign posts, tighten hardware, and add anti-sag kits. For lasting results, we may install a vinyl gate that doesn’t warp, or reinforce wooden gates with galvanized brackets.
