Dalton’s Construction | Professional Commercial Fencing in Whitesburg, TN

Whitesburg’s clay-rich soil expands when wet and shrinks when dry, which can gradually loosen fence posts. Over time, this movement causes posts to tilt or lean. Dalton’s Construction addresses this by setting posts in concrete footings that extend below the frost line and using gravel drainage to reduce soil pressure. This method keeps your fence stable year-round.

Look for rotting wood near the ground, loose or missing nails, sagging gates, and posts that move easily when pushed. If only a few boards or one gate are damaged, repair is often enough. But if multiple posts are rotted or the entire fence is leaning, replacement may be more cost-effective. Dalton’s Construction offers free inspections to help you decide.

After a storm, first check for broken boards and shifted posts. Dalton’s Construction recommends replacing damaged sections promptly to prevent further issues. For Whitesburg’s storms, we use pressure-treated lumber and reinforced post brackets. If the concrete base has cracked, we can repour it and install new posts for a long-lasting fix. We also offer temporary bracing to secure the fence until repairs are complete.
