Common Questions
What causes fence posts to shift in Earlton's climate?
In Earlton, frost heave is the main culprit. When the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly during winter, it pushes fence posts upward or sideways. This is especially common in areas with clay-rich soil or poor drainage. The shifting can loosen the post, making the fence unstable. Proper-ty Maintenance can assess the soil conditions and install posts with deeper footings or gravel bases to minimize heave.
How can I tell if my fence has wind damage?
Look for loose or missing pickets, sagging sections, or a gate that no longer latches. After a strong windstorm, you might notice panels leaning or nails popping out. If the fence wobbles when you push it, wind has likely loosened the connections. Proper-ty Maintenance can inspect the entire fence, replace damaged boards, and reinforce the framework to withstand future gusts.
How can Proper-ty Maintenance fix frost-heaved fence posts?
We start by removing the shifted post and digging a deeper hole, usually below the frost line (about 4 feet in Earlton). We then add a gravel base for drainage, set the post in concrete, and ensure it's plumb. For existing fences, we can also install post anchors or braces to stabilize posts without full replacement. The result is a fence that stays straight through freeze-thaw cycles.
