RP Concrete - Bennett's Top-Rated Fence Contractors

The main cause is moisture buildup around the base of wooden posts, combined with the freeze-thaw cycles common in Colorado. Soil in Bennett often retains water, leading to accelerated decay. Without proper concrete footings or drainage, posts can rot within a few years.

Look for signs like leaning sections, cracks near the base, soft or spongy wood, or gates that sag and won’t close properly. You may also see mushrooms or moss growing on the post. If you notice any of these, it’s time for a professional inspection.

We remove the damaged post and dig out the old footing. Then we set a new pressure-treated or rot-resistant post into a concrete base, ensuring proper drainage away from the wood. For extra protection, we can apply weatherproofing sealant. This method extends the life of your fence significantly.
