OnPoint Roofing & Construction | Local Fence Contractors in Walker, LA

Floodwaters saturate the ground, leaving soil damp for weeks. If your fence posts aren’t pressure-treated or set in concrete with proper gravel drainage, they absorb that moisture and begin rotting from the bottom up. In Walker’s humid climate, this process speeds up, often leading to unstable posts within a year or two.

Look for leaning sections, loose rails, or posts that wobble when pushed. After a flood, check for soft, spongy wood near the base or visible mold and mildew. If the gate sags or won’t latch properly, that’s another clear sign the posts or framing have been compromised by moisture.

We remove rotted posts and replace them with pressure-treated or composite materials. Each new post is set in a concrete collar above a gravel base to allow water to drain away from the wood. For existing fences, we can reinforce weak sections and apply waterproof sealants. Our goal is to give you a fence that stands up to Walker’s wet weather without constant upkeep.
