Privacy Fence Installation Snellville GA | Call All A Service

Our area’s clay-heavy soil expands when saturated, which can loosen the grip around fence posts. Over time, this creates gaps that cause the post to tilt. It’s especially common in neighborhoods near T.W. Briscoe Park where drainage can be an issue. The fix involves resetting the post with concrete and ensuring proper drainage.

Look for orange-brown flakes or pitting on hinges, latches, or screws. If the metal feels brittle or the gate sags when opened, corrosion has weakened the hardware. In Snellville’s humid climate, untreated galvanized steel can start rusting within a few years. We replace it with stainless steel or heavy-duty coated hardware that lasts much longer.

Often a sagging gate is caused by a combination of a leaning post and rusted hinges. At All A Service, we first check the post alignment and re-anchor it if needed, then swap out any corroded hinges for rust-proof ones. This two-step approach keeps your gate operating smoothly through Snellville’s wet seasons.
