BMS Welding and Fencing: Top-Rated Wood and Vinyl Fencing Serving Peoria, IL 61607

Peoria’s freeze-thaw cycles and heavy clay soil trap moisture against wooden posts, especially in low-lying areas near the Illinois River or older lots in the West Bluff. This constant dampness leads to rot at the ground line, and when the soil shifts, posts begin to lean. Our metal fabrication service solves this by replacing rotted posts with galvanized steel or aluminum posts that won't absorb moisture.

Look for visible leaning, gaps between the post and rail, or soft, spongy wood at the base after a rain. You might also see cracked concrete around the post footing or rusted nails pulling loose. If you spot these signs on your Peoria property, our team at BMS Welding and Fencing can fabricate a custom metal bracket or replacement post to stabilize the fence before it collapses.

We use custom metal fabrication to create steel sleeves or brackets that attach to the sound portion of the wood post below the rot. Then we set a new metal post base into concrete right beside the old footing. This allows us to save the rest of the fence panels. For a total loss, we weld and install new metal posts and rails on-site at your Peoria home, ensuring they stay true for years.
