CRM Services - Candler's Local Fence Installation

The most common early signs are soft or spongy wood at ground level, a leaning or sagging gate, and visible discoloration or moss near the base. You may also notice cracks in the wood that allow moisture to seep deeper. If you catch these signs early, CRM Services can often repair the affected posts or sections rather than replace the entire fence.

We start by setting fence posts on a gravel base for better drainage, rather than burying them directly in soil. We also treat wood with a quality weatherproofing stain or sealant and recommend materials like cedar or pressure-treated lumber. For extra protection, we can install metal post anchors to keep the wood above the ground line.

Yes, in most cases we can. We first assess how many posts are compromised. If the damage is limited to a few posts, we’ll remove the old ones, install new treated posts with proper drainage, and reattach the fence panels. We also recommend a weatherproofing coat afterward to protect the rest of the wood from future moisture damage.
