Frequently Asked Questions
What causes fence posts to lean after heavy rain in Decatur?
Decatur's clay-heavy soil and poor drainage can saturate the ground around fence posts, causing the soil to soften and lose its grip. Over time, this leads to leaning posts. Hernandez Fencing installs posts with gravel drainage bases and concrete collars to prevent this.
How do you fix fence post erosion without replacing the whole fence?
We can repair individual posts by excavating the eroded area, adding crushed stone for drainage, and resetting the post with fast-setting concrete. For minor leaning, we also offer post bracing and soil compaction. This saves you money compared to full replacement.
Does weatherproofing help prevent future fence damage from rain?
Absolutely. Applying a weatherproof sealant to wood fences, combined with proper drainage around posts, significantly reduces moisture absorption and rot. Hernandez Fencing uses high-quality stains and sealers that protect against Decatur's humid conditions and heavy downpours.
