Rock Solid Masonry: Trusted Privacy Fence Installation Serving Bloomington, IN 47403

A sagging gate is often a sign of a failing post or hinge support. In Bloomington's freeze-thaw climate, the concrete footing around a wooden or metal fence post can crack or heave, causing the post to shift. Rock Solid Masonry strengthens the base by pouring a new, frost-proof concrete footing or repairing the existing one. Additionally, if your gate is attached to a brick or stone column, our masonry repair services can repoint crumbling mortar or replace damaged bricks, giving the gate a solid anchor to latch correctly again.

Absolutely. A leaning retaining wall is a clear sign of inadequate drainage or a failing base. If this wall borders your fence, the fence posts may be set into the wall or the soil behind it. As the wall tilts, it can pull posts out of alignment, causing your fence to lean or sections to pull apart. Rock Solid Masonry can repair the retaining wall by excavating the base, adding drainage gravel and a perforated pipe, then rebuilding the wall with proper reinforcement. This stabilizes the entire area, allowing us to then re-set any affected fence posts for a long-lasting fix.

Yes, spot repairs are often possible. Crumbling concrete at the base of a brick column is frequently caused by water wicking up from the ground. The solution involves chipping out the damaged concrete and any deteriorated brick in that lower section. Rock Solid Masonry can then apply a specialized masonry patching compound or pour a new concrete base cap, waterproofing the joint to prevent future moisture damage. This saves you the cost and disruption of a full rebuild while restoring the column's appearance and structural integrity for your gate or fence.
