Morrison Services - Morgan City's Trusted Wood and Vinyl Fencing

In Morgan City, the combination of high humidity and frequent rain can cause wooden gate posts to rot or metal hinges to rust over time. The moisture softens the ground around the post, leading to shifting, while the added weight of the gate pulls it downward. This is a common issue for local homeowners, especially near the Atchafalaya River where the air is consistently damp.

A clear sign is if the panels wobble when you push against them or if you notice gaps between the boards and the frame. After heavy rains, you might also see the fence leaning slightly. If the nails or screws are pulling out, or the wood feels soft near the ground, it’s time for a professional inspection to prevent further damage.

Yes, Morrison Services specializes in repairing both sagging gates and loose fence panels. We assess the cause—whether it’s post rot, hinge failure, or soil erosion—and provide a lasting fix, such as reinforcing the post, replacing hardware, or tightening connections. Our lawn care services also help by keeping the area around your fence clear and dry, reducing future problems.
