Ecuafence | Trusted Fence Contractors in Cortlandt Manor, NY

Fence post rot is typically caused by moisture seeping into untreated wood or metal posts that aren't properly sealed. In Cortlandt Manor's climate, with its wet springs and freeze-thaw cycles, water can accumulate at the base of the post, leading to decay over time. Ecuafence recommends using pressure-treated lumber or galvanized steel to prevent rot.

Common signs include a visible tilt to one side, gaps between fence panels, or posts that feel loose when pushed. You might also notice the ground around the post base is soft or uneven. If you see any of these, it's best to address them quickly to avoid further damage.

We start by inspecting the posts and concrete footings. If posts are rotted, we replace them with new, rot-resistant materials set in concrete below the frost line. For minor leaning, we can re-anchor existing posts with gravel or concrete to restore stability. We also check for proper drainage to prevent future issues.
