Question Answers

What causes fence posts to lean or heave in Pewaukee, and how can Century Fence Company fix it?

The main cause is frost heave, where moisture in the soil freezes and expands, pushing posts upward. In Pewaukee’s cold winters, this is common. Signs include leaning posts, uneven gates, and cracked concrete. Century Fence Company addresses this by resetting posts below the frost line (typically 48 inches) with proper drainage gravel, and we offer repair services to straighten and reinforce existing fences. For new installations, we ensure posts are set deep enough to prevent future heaving.

What are the signs of wood rot on a fence, and how does Century Fence Company help protect against it?

Wood rot often appears as soft, discolored spots, splintering, or a musty smell, especially near the ground where moisture collects. It’s a frequent issue in Pewaukee due to snowmelt and rain. Century Fence Company provides wood rot repair by replacing damaged sections and applying weatherproofing stains and sealants. We also offer painting and staining services that include a moisture barrier, extending the life of your fence. For new fences, we recommend pressure-treated wood or cedar with proper sealant.

My automatic gate is sticking or not closing properly after winter. Can Century Fence Company repair it?

Yes, automatic gates in Pewaukee often suffer from ice buildup in tracks, misaligned hinges due to frost heave, or frozen sensors. Century Fence Company specializes in automatic gate repair and installation. We’ll inspect the gate mechanism, check for frost-related shifting, and adjust the gate’s alignment. We also offer weatherproofing for gate components and can install a heavier-duty system designed for cold climates. If your gate is beyond repair, we can install a new manual or automatic gate that’s built to last.
