Frequently Asked Questions

What causes fence post erosion in Mobile, and how can I prevent it?

Fence post erosion in Mobile is primarily caused by poor drainage, especially after heavy rains common in our area. Water pools around the base of the post, softening the soil and weakening the foundation. To prevent this, we recommend installing posts with proper gravel bedding and using weatherproofing treatments. Alston Fences also offers concrete setting techniques that improve drainage and stability, extending the life of your fence.

What are the signs of wood fence rot from humidity, and when should I call for repair?

Signs of wood fence rot include soft or crumbly spots on the wood, discoloration, mold or mildew growth, and a musty smell. In Mobile’s humid climate, these issues can develop quickly. If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to call for repair. Alston Fences can assess the damage, replace rotted sections, and apply a stain or sealer to protect against future moisture intrusion.

How can weatherproofing help my fence last longer in Mobile’s climate?

Weatherproofing is essential in Mobile due to high humidity, heavy rain, and intense sun. Our weatherproofing services include applying a high-quality sealant or stain that repels water and blocks UV rays. This prevents wood rot, warping, and fading. We also check for proper drainage around posts and recommend annual maintenance to keep your fence in top shape year after year.
