Q&A
What causes fences to lean or sag in Shepherdsville, KY?
The main cause is Shepherdsville's clay-heavy soil, which expands when wet and contracts when dry. This movement can loosen fence posts over time, especially if they aren't set deep enough to withstand freeze-thaw cycles. Poor drainage and high winds also contribute to sagging or leaning panels.
How can I tell if my deck needs repair or a full replacement?
Check for soft or rotted wood, wobbly railings, popped nails, and loose deck boards. If only a few boards are damaged and the structure is still solid, repair may suffice. But if the ledger board is pulling away from the house, or more than 20% of the wood is compromised, replacement is safer and more cost-effective in the long run.
What's the best solution for a fence that keeps leaning after heavy rains?
The best long-term fix is to remove the leaning posts and re-set them with concrete footings that penetrate below the frost line (at least 24 inches deep in Kentucky). Using galvanized post anchors and pressure-treated wood also helps. Unified Designs can inspect your fence, determine if posts need resetting or if new sections are required, and complete the work with durable materials.
