Professional Fence Contractors in Tarboro, NC 27886 - MM Construction

Yes. In Tarboro, the main cause is soil movement from heavy rain or drought cycles. Clay soils expand and contract, which can shift fence post footings and even affect your home’s foundation. If you notice fence posts leaning and doors sticking, it may indicate a broader foundation problem. MM Construction can inspect both issues, starting with a foundation evaluation to ensure the ground is stable before we reset or replace the fence posts.

Watch for cracks in interior drywall above door frames, windows or doors that stick, and gaps where walls meet the ceiling. Outside, look for cracks in brick veneer or concrete slab edges. If your fence line is also pulling away from the house or leaning, these can be signs of settlement. MM Construction offers a free walk-around inspection for Tarboro homeowners to help catch these signs early before they lead to more expensive repairs.

We use a combination of foundation underpinning, such as push piers or helical piers, to lift and stabilize the foundation back to level. Once the foundation is stable, we address the fence posts by resetting them on proper footings below the frost line with compacted base material. For Tarboro properties near the river, we sometimes add drainage solutions to manage water runoff and prevent future soil movement. The result is a fence that aligns correctly and a foundation that stays solid for years.
