Look for rotting wood at the base, leaning or loose posts, missing or cracked pickets, rust on metal fences, and gates that sag or stick. These issues often stem from moisture damage or soil movement. If you notice more than a few problem areas, it’s likely time for professional assessment to prevent collapse or safety hazards.

Proper grading and drainage keep water from pooling near fence posts, reducing rot. Strategic planting of shrubs or ground cover can stabilize soil and minimize erosion that causes posts to shift. Also, trimming back vines and trees prevents moisture buildup and physical pressure on panels. Our team integrates these solutions when installing or maintaining your fence.

Yes, pressure washing removes mold, mildew, dirt, and loose paint that can trap moisture and cause decay. For wood fences, a gentle wash once a year followed by sealing protects the surface. For vinyl or metal fences, it restores brightness and removes contaminants. Avoid using too high a pressure, which can damage wood. We recommend spring or fall cleaning to prep for weather changes.
