Family Fenceing: Best Fence Contractors Serving Savannah, GA 31406

Savannah's sandy, loose soil can become saturated after heavy rain, causing fence posts to shift or sink. Poor initial installation, such as insufficient concrete footing or shallow holes, worsens this. Family Fenceing addresses this by using deep-set posts with proper concrete bases, often 2-3 feet deep, and allowing adequate curing time. We also recommend gravel drainage at the base to prevent water pooling, keeping your posts stable through Georgia's rainy seasons.

Common signs include peeling, cracking, or fading of stain, often within 1-2 years after application due to moisture and UV exposure. You may also notice mildew or gray discoloration on the wood. In Savannah's high humidity, these issues accelerate. Family Fenceing suggests annual inspections and cleaning with a mild bleach solution. If left unaddressed, the wood can rot. We offer professional staining with penetrating oils that resist moisture and UV damage, keeping your fence vibrant.

First, we assess the damage: if posts are simply loose, we can re-set them with extra concrete and adjust alignment. For severely leaning sections, we may replace posts or add bracing. In sandy Savannah soil, we often install thicker pressure-treated posts (5x5) and use a concrete collar above ground to prevent rot. We also check the entire fence line for hidden issues, ensuring long-term stability. Regular maintenance, like checking for loose hardware, helps prevent future leaning.
