The main cause is our clay soil, which holds moisture around the base of wooden posts, especially after heavy rain. General Home Remodeling addresses this by using pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact, installing gravel at the base of post holes for drainage, setting posts in concrete, and capping the tops so water runs off rather than soaking into the end grain.

Signs of trouble include leaning sections, loose or missing pickets, rot at the base of posts, and gates that won’t latch properly. When less than 30% of the fence is affected, General Home Remodeling can typically repair the damaged sections. If more than half the posts are rotted or the fence is more than 15 years old, replacement is often the more cost-effective option.
