Fence Builders Mize MS | Call B & B FENCING AND LAWN CARE

The high humidity and frequent rain in the Mize area are the main causes. Water wicks up from the ground into untreated wood, leading to rot and fungal growth. A clear sign is a soft, spongy feel at the base of the post. The solution is to have us install pressure-treated posts and a proper gravel base at the time of installation, or for existing fences, apply a high-quality weatherproofing sealer to protect the wood from moisture.

Absolutely. In Smith County, dirt, mud, and debris from gravel driveways or heavy rain can easily build up in the gate's track or obstruct the sensor. Another common sign is a sluggish or jerky motion. The solution is not just cleaning the track. Our repair team will also inspect the hinges and motor for damage caused by moisture and recalibrate the system to ensure it opens and closes reliably, keeping your property secure.

Look for these signs: If you see cracked, splintered, or loose boards, that usually indicates the need for a repair. However, if the wood appears dull, gray, or feels rough but is still structurally sound, it likely just needs weatherproofing. This is a common issue in Mize's sun and humidity. The best solution is to call us for an inspection. We can replace any damaged components and then apply a new stain or sealant to protect the rest of the fence for years.
