Fencing Company Peoria IL | Call Hayworth Fence

Sagging gates are often caused by loose or worn hinges, heavy use, or soil settling beneath the gate post. In Peoria’s freeze-thaw cycle, the ground can shift, throwing the gate out of alignment. Our team will inspect the hinges, post, and frame, then tighten or replace hardware, reset the post, or add a support wheel to eliminate the sag and restore smooth operation.

Look for flaking rust, weak or brittle sections, and rust that has eaten through the wire. If the rust is only surface-level, we can apply a rust inhibitor and paint. But if the metal is pitted or broken, replacement of the affected panels is safer. We’ll assess the entire fence and recommend the most cost-effective solution—whether it’s spot repairs or a full section swap.

The best solution depends on the extent of rust. For early-stage rust, we clean the area, apply a rust converter, and repaint with weather-resistant coating. For advanced rust with structural weakness, we replace the damaged panels or the entire fence. We also recommend upgrading to galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link to prevent future rust, especially in Peoria’s humid summers and snowy winters.
