Fence Builders Feeding Hills MA | Call Bilodeau & Son Fence

In Feeding Hills, the main cause is the freeze-thaw cycle. During winter, water in the soil freezes and expands, pushing posts upward. When the ground thaws, the soil settles unevenly, leaving posts loose or tilted. Poor drainage or shallow installation makes this worse. At Bilodeau & Son Fence, we counter this by setting posts below the frost line and using gravel for proper drainage.

Look for soft or spongy wood near the ground, peeling paint, dark stains, or a musty smell. You might also notice posts that wobble easily or gaps forming between boards. In Feeding Hills, moisture from snowmelt and rain can accelerate rot. If you spot these signs, our team can assess the damage and recommend repairs or targeted replacements to restore your fence's strength.

We start by inspecting the affected posts and panels. For minor heaving, we can often re-set the post deeper with concrete and gravel to stabilize it. For severely rotted posts, we replace them with pressure-treated wood or durable vinyl options. We also check the entire fence line to prevent future issues. Our goal is to give you a fence that withstands Feeding Hills' weather for years.
