Fence Builders Melbourne FL | Call Dog Guard of Eastern Florida

In Melbourne, the primary cause is soil shifting due to heavy rains and humidity. The sandy soil common in areas near the Indian River Lagoon can erode around posts, especially if they weren't set deep enough. Over time, this loosens the post, compromising the fence's stability and your pet's safety.

Look for green or black patches on wooden fence posts or panels, especially in shaded areas. Mold often indicates moisture retention, which can rot wood and weaken the fence structure. If you notice a musty smell or see the fence feeling spongy near the base, it's a sign that mold is causing decay.

Absolutely. We start by removing the damaged post and treating the surrounding soil for mold. Then, we set a new, pressure-treated post with concrete to prevent future shifting. For mold on existing fences, we apply a pet-safe cleaner and sealant to stop regrowth, ensuring your fence remains secure and your pet safe.
