Question Answers

What causes fence posts to heave in Newark, and how can S & D Fence fix it?

The heavy clay soil common in Newark expands when wet and shrinks when dry, which can push fence posts up or tilt them over time. S & D Fence prevents this by digging deeper post holes, often below the frost line, and using concrete footings that anchor the post securely. If your posts have already heaved, they can reset them and reinforce the base to resist future movement.

My gate is sagging and dragging on the ground. What's the most likely cause and solution?

In Newark's humid summers and freezing winters, wooden gate frames can warp and hardware can loosen. A sagging gate is often a sign that the hinges have pulled out or the frame has twisted. S & D Fence can replace the hinges with heavy-duty, galvanized hardware and add a tension cable or wheel support to take the weight off the hinges. They also check the gate posts for stability so the repair lasts.

How can I tell if my fence needs professional repair, or if I can fix it myself?

If a single picket is loose or a gate latch is slightly misaligned, that's usually a DIY job. But if you have multiple leaning posts, large sections of rot, or a gate that won't align even after adjusting the hinges, it's time to call S & D Fence. They have the tools and experience to handle the deep post repairs and structural alignment that are common in Newark's soil conditions.
