Allpro Handyman Services | Experienced Residential Fencing in Modesto, CA

The main cause is soil erosion around the post base. Modesto's clay-heavy soil can shift with seasonal rain and dry spells, creating gaps that allow the post to move. Over time, this leads to leaning or sagging. Poor drainage and heavy winds can also contribute.

Look for visible gaps between the post and the ground, especially after rain. The post may feel loose when pushed, or you might notice the fence leaning away from vertical. Cracks in the soil around the base are another common sign. If you see any of these, it's best to address it before the post fails completely.

We start by inspecting the post and surrounding soil. For minor leaning, we can re‑set the post with concrete or gravel and compact the soil. For severely rotted or damaged posts, we replace them entirely. We also check for proper drainage and add post anchors if needed. Our team handles everything from gate repair to full fence replacement as part of our handyman services.
