Frequently Asked Questions

What causes fence posts to lean after heavy rain in Athens?

In Athens, heavy rain can saturate the soil, especially in areas with clay-heavy ground. This softens the earth around the post base, causing it to shift or lean if the post wasn't set deep enough or secured with proper concrete. Handy-O can inspect your fence, assess the soil conditions, and reinforce or reset the post to prevent future leaning.

How can I tell if my gate is sagging?

Common signs of a sagging gate include difficulty latching, the gate dragging on the ground, or an uneven gap between the gate and the post. You might also notice the hinge side pulling away. Handy-O can realign the hinges, adjust the hardware, or replace worn components to restore smooth operation.

What's the best solution for a leaning fence post?

The best solution depends on the extent of the damage. For minor leaning, we may brace the post and add gravel for better drainage. For severe cases, we replace the post, setting it deeper with concrete and a gravel base to prevent water pooling. Handy-O offers durable repairs that address the root cause, keeping your fence stable through Athens' rainy seasons.
