Hubbard Construction - Kansas City's Best Residential Fencing

The main cause is the expansive clay soil common in Kansas City. When it gets wet, the soil swells and shifts, which can loosen the concrete footings supporting your fence posts. Over time, this movement causes the posts to lean and the chain-link fabric to sag.

Look for visible cracks in the concrete around the base of your fence posts, or if the post itself moves easily when pushed. Another sign is a gate that no longer latches properly or drags on the ground. These issues often start after a heavy rain or a freeze-thaw cycle.

We first remove the damaged concrete footing and the old post. Then, we dig a deeper, wider hole and set the new post in a high-strength concrete mix that's designed for our local soil conditions. We also ensure proper drainage around the base to prevent future shifting.
