Local Fencing Company in Sedalia, MO 65301 - Riggs and Howe Indoor And Outdoor services

Strong winds and heavy rain from Missouri storms can saturate the soil, causing posts to loosen or rot. In Sedalia, the clay-rich soil expands and contracts with moisture, leading to shifting that makes fences lean. Our services include post replacement, concrete anchoring, and grading adjustments to prevent this.

Look for visible leaning, loose boards, rusted nails, or gaps at the bottom. If gates sag or don't latch, or if posts wiggle when pushed, it's time for repair. At Riggs and Howe, we inspect for rot, insect damage, and foundation issues to recommend repair or replacement.

We assess the damage, then either replace individual posts or sections with pressure-treated wood or vinyl that resists moisture. To prevent future leaning, we set posts in concrete deep below the frost line and improve drainage around the fence line. We also offer tree stump removal and shrub trimming around fences to reduce moisture retention.
