Expert Fence Contractors in Alexandria, VA 22310 - Freedom Fence Company

Lean often results from soil moisture changes near the Potomac River or freeze-thaw cycles. Our solution involves removing the affected post, digging a deeper hole, and setting it with concrete to below the frost line. We also check for drainage issues and may recommend gravel backfill to prevent future movement, restoring stability and alignment.

Common signs include sagging, difficulty latching, or scraping against the ground. These often indicate worn hinges or post settlement. We inspect the hardware and posts, then tighten or replace parts as needed. For persistent sag, we adjust the post base or add a wheel support. Early repair prevents costly replacements and keeps your property secure.

We use pressure-treated wood or cedar, which naturally resists moisture. During installation, we ensure proper clearance between the bottom of the fence and the ground to reduce soil contact. We also apply a water-resistant sealant and recommend annual maintenance. For extra protection, we can install a gravel trench to improve drainage around the posts.
