Ramos Fences And Landscaping: Expert Fence Contractors Serving Swansea, IL 62221

The main cause is prolonged exposure to moisture and road salt, common in Swansea's seasonal weather. When the protective galvanized coating wears down, moisture seeps into the metal, causing rust. This is especially noticeable near the bottom of the fence where it contacts wet grass or snow. Our solution is to replace rusted sections with new, galvanized chain link and apply a rust-inhibiting primer and paint to extend the fence's life.

Common signs include a gate that sags, drags on the ground, or is difficult to open and close. You may also hear a loud squeaking or grinding sound, or see visible rust or cracks around the hinge. In Swansea, broken hinges often result from heavy winds or the extra weight of a gate that has shifted over time. Our solution involves assessing the hinge, tightening bolts, lubricating moving parts, or fully replacing the hinge and reinforcing the gate post for smooth operation.

We start by inspecting the fence to determine the extent of the rust damage. For minor rust, we can sand the area, apply a rust converter, and repaint. For more severe cases, we replace the affected panels and posts with new, rust-resistant chain link. We also check and tighten the tension wires and top rail to ensure the fence is stable. Our goal is to restore your fence's strength and appearance, preventing future rust issues.
