Fence Broz | Trusted Commercial Fencing in Howard City, MI

Frost heave happens when moisture in the soil freezes and expands, pushing fence posts upward. This is common in Howard City due to cold winters and frequent freeze-thaw cycles. Eventually, posts can lean, crack, or break, compromising the fence's stability.

Look for signs like leaning posts, cracked or split rails, loose boards, or gates that won't close properly. After a heavy storm, check for broken panels or sagging sections. If you notice any of these, it's best to address them promptly to prevent further damage.

Our team can reset the posts deeper below the frost line, often using concrete footings for stability. We'll also replace any damaged panels or rails and re-stain or weatherproof the area to protect against future weather. For minor leans, we can brace the posts without full replacement.
