Experienced Fencing Company in Smiths Station, AL 36877 - Fencing By Randy Mac

Smiths Station's high humidity and frequent rain create a damp environment that encourages moisture absorption in wood. This can lead to rot, especially if the wood isn't properly treated or sealed. Additionally, direct soil contact and lack of airflow around the fence accelerate decay.

Look for vines or bushes growing directly against the fence, which trap moisture and promote rot. You may also notice warped or leaning posts, as roots from nearby plants can shift the soil. In Smiths Station, kudzu and ivy are common culprits that can pull down panels if left unchecked.

Randy Mac assesses your property to recommend rot-resistant materials like pressure-treated pine or vinyl. For existing fences, he can replace damaged sections and install proper drainage or gravel backfill to reduce moisture. He also clears vegetation away from fence lines and can add a root barrier to protect the structure long-term.
