LB Rent A Fence: Trusted Fencing Company Serving Smithtown, NY 11787

Fence post rot is typically caused by moisture trapped near the base of the post, especially in Smithtown's humid climate and clay-rich soil. LB Rent A Fence prevents rot by using pressure-treated or naturally rot-resistant woods like cedar, installing gravel at the base for drainage, and ensuring posts are set above ground level to avoid direct soil contact.

Frost heave occurs when water in the soil freezes and expands, pushing fence posts upward. This is common in Smithtown after winter thaws. LB Rent A Fence counters this by setting posts below the frost line (about 36 inches deep), using concrete footings, and adding drainage gravel to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Yes, they can often realign and secure shifted posts by digging out the post, adjusting the depth, and re-setting it with concrete below the frost line. They also evaluate if the post is rotted and recommend replacement if needed, ensuring your fence remains level and stable.
