M & S Fence Specialists - Pompano Beach's Best Residential Fencing

In Pompano Beach, heavy rainstorms and high winds common to South Florida can saturate the ground and cause soil erosion around fence posts. Sandy soil also provides less grip, especially if posts were not set deep enough or with proper concrete support. Over time, wood rot at the base or rust on metal posts can further weaken the connection, leading to instability.

Look for visible leaning, posts that wobble when you push on them, or gaps between the post and the ground. You might also notice cracks in concrete bases, sagging gate hinges, or sections of fence that no longer line up. If your fence moves noticeably during windy days, it's a sign the posts have lost their firm anchorage.

We start by inspecting each post to determine the cause: rot, rust, or soil erosion. For posts that are still structurally sound, we often dig out the old concrete, add gravel for drainage, and reset the post with fresh concrete to ensure a stable footing. If the post is rotted or rusted beyond repair, we replace it with a new pressure-treated wood or galvanized steel post set to proper depth. We also check adjacent sections to prevent future issues.
