Reliable Commercial Fencing in Benton, AR 72019 - L & H Fence & Construction

Termite damage typically occurs when untreated wood is in contact with moist soil, common in Benton's humid climate. Subterranean termites build mud tubes from the ground up into fence posts, gradually hollowing out the wood. Regular inspections and using pressure-treated lumber can prevent this.

Look for thin, buckling wood, small holes, or sawdust-like frass near posts. Tapping the fence may reveal a hollow sound. Mud tubes on the surface of posts or nearby concrete are a clear indicator. If you notice these, call a professional immediately to assess the extent.

Discoloration from UV rays and rain can be fixed by cleaning the fence with a mild detergent and water, then applying a protective stain or sealant. For severe fading, L & H offers power washing and custom color staining to restore the original look. We recommend re-staining every 2-3 years.
