Wood and Vinyl Fencing COLLINSVILLE IL | Call Superior Solutions

In Collinsville, sagging gates are often caused by soil shifting or erosion around the gate posts. This is especially common after heavy rains or freeze-thaw cycles. When the ground settles, the post loses stability, causing the gate to droop and hinges to bind.

Look for signs like difficulty opening or closing the gate, visible rust or cracks on the hinges, or the gate scraping the ground. If you hear grinding or squeaking, the hinges may be misaligned and under stress. Catching this early can prevent a full break.

The best solution is to address the root cause—unstable post foundations. Superior Solutions can excavate around the post, perform proper soil backfilling and compaction, and reset the post. We also repair or replace damaged hinges, ensuring your gate swings freely and stays aligned for years.
