Izen Handyman - San Fernando Valley's Expert Fence Contractors

The main cause is the area's clay soil, which expands when wet and contracts when dry. This movement loosens the soil around posts, especially during heavy rain. Poor drainage or downspouts directed at fence lines can accelerate this erosion, leading to leaning or unstable fences.

Signs include rust spots, flaking coating, or weakened links, common in older fences or those near sprinklers. Izen Handyman can repair or replace affected sections, and we apply weatherproof coatings to prevent future corrosion. For severe cases, we recommend full replacement with galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link.

We typically remove the old post, dig a wider hole, and set it in concrete with gravel at the base for drainage. This provides a stable foundation that resists soil movement. For existing posts, we can install post anchors or bracing. If the post is rotted, replacement is the most durable fix.
