Q&A
My gate keeps sagging and won’t latch. What’s the most likely cause, and how can Navarro fix it in Sparks?
Sagging gates in Sparks are usually caused by shallow posts that shift in our expansive clay soil. Over time, the gate’s weight pulls the post out of plumb. Navarro solves this by digging deeper post holes and filling them with concrete below the frost line. We also install anti-sag hinges and tension cables on wide gates. If your gate is already sagging, we can replace the post or add a wheel support to take the load off the hinges.
My wood fence is leaning even though it’s only a few years old. How does Navarro address this in Sparks’ soil conditions?
Leaning is a classic sign of soil movement, common in Sparks because of wet winters followed by dry summers. Standard fence posts set only 24 inches deep can’t hold. Navarro always sets our posts at least 36 inches deep and uses fast-drying concrete that sets quickly. We also install pressure-treated posts rated for ground contact. If just a few sections lean, we can brace them with deadman anchors; if the whole fence needs resetting, we re-pour concrete footers for long-term stability.
The bottom of my chain-link fence is rusting from Sparks’ winter road salt. What solution does Navarro offer?
Road salt spray can accelerate rust on chain-link fences near streets or driveways. Navarro recommends upgrading to galvanized or vinyl-coated chain-link, which resists corrosion. For existing fences, we can apply a protective coating to the bottom rails and install a tension bar to replace rusted sections without replacing the whole fence. We also suggest planting low shrubs or adding a gravel strip to reduce splash-up from wet pavement.
