Industrial Intercoms & Gates Service | Fence & Gate Repair in Alhambra, CA

Gate misalignment is often caused by soil shifting during earthquakes, which can move gate posts out of plumb. Over time, heavy gates can also sag due to loose hinges or worn hardware. In Alhambra’s clay-rich soil, posts may settle unevenly after rain or seismic activity, leading to gates that drag, stick, or fail to latch properly.

Look for leaning fence panels, cracked or split wood, loose nails or screws, and gaps between fence boards. Posts may shift, causing the fence to tilt. In masonry or block fences, you might see hairline cracks or displaced capstones. After a tremor, check gates for binding and check fence lines for any separation from the house or adjacent structures.

We start by assessing the extent of damage—replacing cracked wood or bent metal panels, resetting shifted posts with concrete footings, and reinforcing corners with metal brackets. For gates, we realign hinges and adjust latches. In areas prone to future quakes, we can install flexible connectors or seismic ties to allow the fence to move without breaking.
