Questions and Answers

What causes fence posts to lean after rain in Jefferson, GA?

The primary cause is Jefferson's heavy clay soil, which expands when wet and contracts when dry. This movement loosens the post hole backfill, causing the post to shift and lean. Poor drainage or shallow post holes can worsen the issue.

How do I know if my fence staining needs repair or replacement?

Signs include peeling or fading stain, water absorption (wood darkening after rain), splintering, or mold growth. If the stain no longer beads water or the wood feels rough, it's time for a fresh coat. Dobbs Construction can assess and re-stain to extend the fence's life.

What's the best solution for preventing fence posts from leaning in Jefferson?

A permanent fix involves setting posts in concrete with gravel at the base for drainage, or using metal post anchors. Dobbs Construction also offers re-grading to improve water runoff. For existing leaning posts, we can remove, reset, or reinforce them to withstand local soil conditions.
