Fencing Company Wellston OH | Call Advance Fence

In Wellston, the primary cause is the region's clay-rich soil, which expands when wet and contracts during dry spells. This freeze-thaw cycle can heave fence posts out of alignment, especially if they aren't set deep enough. Advance Fence addresses this by digging post holes below the frost line and using concrete footings to anchor posts securely, preventing movement even in our changing seasons.

Look for visible leaning, sagging gates, cracked or rotting wood, loose or missing hardware, and gaps between pickets. In Wellston, you might also notice rust on chain-link fences or posts that have shifted due to soil erosion after heavy rain. If you see any of these, it's time to call Advance Fence for an inspection to prevent further damage.

A gate that won't close often points to a sagging frame or misaligned hinges, common after wet winters in Wellston. Advance Fence will first check the posts for stability, then adjust or replace hinges, and possibly add a tension bar or wheel for support. If the gate is warped, we can replace the panel with a weather-resistant material to ensure smooth operation for years.
