Poe Services | Professional Fencing Company in Jefferson, GA

Look for hollow-sounding wood when tapped, visible mud tubes on the fence surface, or small piles of sawdust (frass) near the base of posts. In Jefferson’s humid climate, termites can weaken fence structures quickly, leading to sagging or leaning sections. If you notice cracked or brittle pickets that break easily, it’s likely termite-related. Poe Services can inspect your fence and replace damaged wood or treat the area to prevent further infestation.

We start by assessing the extent of the damage—whether it’s isolated to a few pickets or has spread to the frame. For cracked pickets, we remove the affected boards and replace them with pressure-treated wood that resists moisture and insects common in Jefferson. If the cracking is due to termite damage, we treat the surrounding soil and posts before installing new pickets. Our goal is to restore your fence’s strength and appearance without unnecessary replacements.

Yes, termite damage and wood rot can affect gate posts, hinges, and the gate frame itself, causing automatic gates to misalign or fail to open and close properly. Poe Services repairs the structural components first, replacing any rotted or infested wood with durable materials. We then recalibrate the gate’s motor and sensors to ensure smooth operation. This approach prevents recurring problems and keeps your Jefferson property secure.
