Privacy Fence Installation Brewton AL | Call Mendoza's Barrier Fence

The main cause is soil saturation. Brewton's clay-heavy soil holds water, which softens the ground around fence posts. When the soil becomes soft, the weight of the fence panel and wind pressure can push the post out of alignment. This is especially common after consecutive days of rain, which we often see in the spring and summer.

Look for rot near the base of posts, cracks in the wood, loose nails or screws, and sections that wobble when pushed. Also, if you see the fence leaning away from vertical or notice gaps between pickets, those are signs the structure is weakening. If left unchecked, a small lean can turn into a full collapse.

We typically remove the old post, dig a deeper hole below the frost line, and set a new pressure-treated post in concrete. For existing posts that are still sound but leaning, we can sometimes re-set them with gravel and concrete. For aging panels with rot, we replace just the damaged sections, saving you the cost of a full new fence. We match the style and stain as closely as possible so your fence looks consistent.
