FAQs
What causes fence posts to lean after rain in Columbus, GA?
The main cause is soil erosion. Columbus has clay-heavy soil that expands when wet and contracts when dry, loosening the ground around fence posts. This is especially common near slopes or areas with poor drainage, like around the Chattahoochee River or in older neighborhoods.
How can I tell if my fence posts are starting to erode?
Look for posts that feel loose, lean to one side, or have visible gaps between the post and the ground. You might also notice the fence gate sagging or difficulty closing. After a heavy rain, check for puddling around the base of posts—this indicates poor drainage that can lead to erosion.
How does Eaton Fence fix leaning fence posts permanently?
We remove the affected post, dig a wider hole, and set it in concrete with a gravel base for drainage. For severe erosion, we may install a French drain or adjust the grading to redirect water. This keeps the post stable even during Columbus's rainy seasons.
