Godfrey’s Iron Gate Repair | Whittier, CA Fence Post & Gate Services

Whittier’s dry soil shrinks and creates gaps around fence posts. Over time, this loss of support causes posts to tilt, especially during seasonal ground movement. Godfrey’s addresses this by removing old posts, digging deeper holes, and setting them in concrete to prevent future leaning.

Look for a gate that drags on the ground, won’t latch properly, or has a noticeable tilt. If the post moves when you push against it, the soil has likely lost its grip. Godfrey’s can inspect and reinforce the post with a secure concrete base to restore stability.

We start by removing the affected post and digging a hole that reaches below the dry soil layer, typically 24-36 inches deep. Then we set the post in fresh concrete, ensuring it is plumb and properly aligned. This method provides a lasting solution against Whittier’s shifting ground.
