Experienced Fence Builders in Northport, AL 35476 - TC Fencing

Fence post erosion in Northport is typically caused by poor drainage around the post base, often due to clay soil that holds water. This leads to loose posts and eventual leaning. TC Fencing addresses this by excavating the affected area, adding a gravel drainage layer, and setting the post in concrete to stabilize it. For new installations, we recommend deeper post holes and proper grading to prevent water pooling.

Common signs include visible leaning or sagging sections, gaps between the post and soil, rotting wood near the base (for wooden fences), and difficulty opening or closing gates. If you notice these, TC Fencing can inspect your fence to determine if posts need re-setting, bracing, or full replacement. Our repair service includes weatherproofing to extend the fence’s life.

We apply high-quality sealants and stains that protect against moisture, UV rays, and rot. For wooden fences, we recommend annual re-staining, especially after heavy rain seasons. For metal or vinyl fences, we check for rust or cracks and apply protective coatings. Our weatherproofing service also includes checking drainage around posts and adding gravel or French drains if needed.
