FAQs
What causes fence posts to lean or become unstable in Austin?
Austin's soil is primarily expansive clay, which swells when wet and shrinks during dry spells. This constant movement can loosen the soil around fence posts, causing them to lean over time. Poor initial installation without proper concrete footings often exacerbates the problem.
How can I tell if my fence needs repairs before it falls?
Look for signs like gates that drag or stick, visible gaps between pickets, cracks in the wood near post bases, or a fence that sways when you push against it. Discoloration or peeling stain can also indicate moisture damage beneath the surface.
What is the best solution for fence discoloration in Austin's climate?
We recommend using a high-quality, UV-resistant semi-transparent stain or paint. Before applying, we pressure wash the fence to remove mildew and dirt, then apply a wood conditioner. For long-term protection, periodic re-staining every 2-3 years is essential due to our intense sun and humidity.
