Frequently Asked Questions
What causes fence staining deterioration in Decatur's climate?
In Decatur, the combination of high humidity, heavy rainfall, and intense UV exposure accelerates the breakdown of fence stains. Over time, moisture seeps into the wood, causing the stain to peel, crack, or fade. Without proper weatherproofing, this deterioration can lead to rot and structural weakness. Regular maintenance and high-quality sealants can prevent this.
What are the signs that my fence posts are leaning after rain?
Common signs include visible tilting of the posts, gaps between the fence and gate, difficulty opening or closing gates, and cracked or lifted concrete around the base. These often occur when soil becomes saturated after heavy rain, compromising the post's footing. If you notice any of these, prompt repair is needed to avoid collapse.
How can Allen Fence Company fix fence posts that lean after rain?
We assess the soil condition and post integrity. Solutions may include re-digging and resetting the post with new concrete, installing gravel for better drainage, or using post anchors to reinforce the base. For severe damage, we can replace the post and apply weatherproofing to prevent future issues. Our repairs are designed to last through Decatur's wet seasons.
