Reliable Fence Contractors in Phenix City, AL 36869 - Rowe Incline Services

The frequent cause of broken gate latches in Phenix City is rust and corrosion from high humidity and nearby river moisture, like from the Chattahoochee. This weakens metal parts over time. Rowe Incline Services solves this by replacing standard latches with stainless steel or galvanized options and adjusting the gate alignment to reduce stress. We also apply a rust inhibitor to prevent future damage, so your gate closes securely every time.

Look for soft, spongy spots or discoloration that doesn't scrub off easily. That's a sign the mold has penetrated the wood, often caused by Phenix City's persistent moisture. Our experts assess the fence for rot by probing around posts and panels. If caught early, we pressure wash and apply a mold-resistant sealant. For severe cases, we replace damaged sections with naturally rot-resistant wood or composite materials to stop the problem from spreading.

The best solution is a two-step process: a thorough pressure washing with a mildewcide solution, followed by a semi-transparent stain with UV protection. This blocks moisture absorption, which is key for fences near Lake Oliver due to the high water table. Rowe Incline Services also recommends annual inspections—we can schedule maintenance to check for early signs of mildew and reapply sealant as needed, saving you from costly replacements.
