Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common signs that my fence needs repair in Pittston's weather?
In Pittston's humid summers and snowy winters, look for leaning posts, loose boards or panels, rust on chain-link, cracks in vinyl, and gates that sag or won't latch. These signs often appear after heavy rain or freeze-thaw cycles.
How can I prevent my wood fence from rotting near the Susquehanna River?
Action Fence recommends using pressure-treated or cedar wood, plus applying a water-resistant sealant every two years. Ensuring proper drainage at the base and keeping vegetation away from the fence also helps. For homes close to the river, a vinyl or aluminum fence might be a better long-term choice.
Why are my fence posts leaning after winter, and how do you fix it?
Leaning posts often result from frost heave or soil erosion. Action Fence addresses this by removing the old post, setting a new one in concrete below the frost line (typically 36-48 inches in Pittston), and backfilling with gravel to improve drainage. We also check adjacent posts for stability.
