Frequently Asked Questions
What causes fence post rot in Houma, and how can ML Construction prevent it?
Fence post rot is primarily caused by constant moisture from Houma's humid air, frequent rain, and standing water. Over time, untreated wood absorbs moisture, leading to decay. ML Construction prevents this by using pressure-treated lumber and setting posts in gravel to improve drainage. For high-moisture areas near Bayou Terrebonne, we recommend concrete footings to keep posts dry and stable.
What are the signs of hurricane-damaged fencing, and when should I call a contractor?
Common signs include leaning posts, cracked or splintered boards, missing sections, and loose gates. After a storm event like those affecting West Houma, check for ground erosion around posts. If you notice more than two leaning posts or a gap in your fence line, call ML Construction. Early repair prevents further damage to your yard and property.
Can ML Construction install hurricane-resistant fencing for homes near the Intracoastal Waterway?
Yes. For properties near the Intracoastal Waterway or other exposed areas, we install heavy-duty fences with reinforced posts and galvanized brackets. We use materials like cedar or vinyl that resist rot and wind damage. Our installations include deeper post holes and more concrete to ensure your fence stays upright during high winds.
