COB Construction: Structural Repair & Fence Services in Heartland, TX

The main cause is the region's expansive clay soil, which swells when wet and shrinks during dry spells. This movement loosens the ground around posts, making them lean or sink. Combined with high winds common in Heartland, the stress can pull posts out of alignment or cause them to rot faster.

Look for leaning sections, gaps between fence boards, gates that won't latch properly, or posts that feel wobbly when pushed. Cracks in nearby concrete walkways or driveways can also indicate soil shifting that affects your fence's foundation.

We remove the unstable post and dig a wider, deeper hole. Then we pour a concrete base that extends below the frost line and into stable soil. For extra strength, we may install a steel post anchor or use a gravel collar to improve drainage. This method prevents future shifting and keeps your fence standing firm.
