Trusted Privacy Fence Installation in Macon, MO 63552 - Bettes Concrete and UML Construction

The main cause is moisture from heavy spring rains and freeze-thaw cycles common in north Missouri. When water seeps into untreated wood, it freezes and expands, cracking the posts. Over time, this leads to rot and instability. Our solution involves removing the deteriorated posts and setting new pressure-treated or concrete-embedded posts. For decks and fences, we also recommend replacing any rotted boards and sealing the wood to prevent future damage.

Yes, a sagging gate often means the hinge posts are shifting or the gate frame is warping. In Macon’s clay soils, posts can lean after heavy rains. If left unchecked, the gate may eventually pull the fence down. We can reinforce or replace the hinge post with a concrete footing, install a tension cable, or replace the gate entirely. For automatic gates, we also check the track alignment and motor mounts to ensure smooth operation.
