Escalante's Home Repairs & Construction | Trusted Residential Fencing in Daleville, AL

The most common cause is soil saturation. When the ground becomes overly wet, especially after repeated heavy rains, the soil around the post loses its grip. Combined with the weight of the fence, the post can shift and lean. At Escalante’s Home Repairs & Construction, we see this often in Daleville neighborhoods like those near Fort Novosel. Our solution involves digging out the post, adding gravel for drainage, and setting it in concrete to prevent future movement.

Look for dark or greenish-black spots, a musty smell, or a slimy texture on the wood. In Daleville’s humid climate, mold and mildew not only ruin the appearance of your fence but can also accelerate wood rot. If left untreated, it can weaken the structure. We recommend prompt cleaning with a mildew-specific solution and applying a water-resistant sealant to keep your fence looking great and lasting longer.

Our team can handle both problems efficiently. For leaning posts, we re-set them with proper drainage and concrete footings. For mold and mildew, we power-wash the fence, treat it with an eco-friendly cleaner, and apply a protective stain or sealant. Whether your fence is near Post Oak Park or along Highway 85, we’ll assess the specific conditions and provide a lasting repair that saves you time and money.
