Questions and Answers
What causes chain link fences to rust so quickly in Glenview, and how can you fix it?
In Glenview, chain link fences often rust due to road salt splashing from snow plows and high humidity near the lake. Small scratches in the galvanized coating let moisture in. Our solution includes wire brushing loose rust, applying a rust converter, and coating the fence with a weather-resistant paint. For severely rusted sections, we replace the affected panels and use a heavier-gauge, vinyl-coated chain link to prevent future issues.
Why do my fence posts keep shifting after winter, and what’s the permanent fix?
Frost heave happens when water in the soil freezes and expands, pushing posts upward. In Glenview’s clay-heavy soil, this is common after freeze-thaw cycles. The permanent fix is to dig post holes below the frost line (about 40 inches) and pour concrete footings. We also add gravel at the base for drainage. This keeps your fence upright and level year after year, even after harsh winters.
Can you repair a leaning fence without replacing the whole thing?
Yes, often we can. First, we assess if the posts are rotted or just loosened by frost heave. If the posts are sound but leaning, we can re-set them by digging around the base, adding concrete, and bracing them straight. If the posts are rusted or rotted, we replace only those posts and reattach the existing fence panels. This saves you money and keeps your property looking neat without a full replacement.
