Pro Fence - Dublin's Top-Rated Privacy Fence Installation

The primary cause is the expansion and contraction of clay soil when saturated with rainwater. This can shift the post base, especially if the concrete footing is shallow or the wood has rotted. Pro Fence recommends proper drainage and deep-set posts to prevent this issue.

Look for visible gaps between the rail and the post, sagging sections, or a rattling sound when you push the fence. After a storm, check for nails or screws that have popped out. If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to call Pro Fence for a quick inspection and repair.

For leaning posts, we often re-dig the hole, add fresh concrete, and brace the post until it sets. Loose rails are typically re-secured with stronger fasteners or replaced if warped. We also assess the soil conditions to recommend long-term solutions like gravel backfill or post anchors.
