Fence Builders Auburn WA | Call Vladimir Remodel

Auburn's frequent rain and humid conditions can lead to moisture absorption in wooden fence posts. When the post's base stays wet for long periods, it promotes rot and fungal growth. Poor drainage or untreated wood accelerates decay, making it a common local problem.

Look for black, green, or white splotches on the wood surface, often in shady or damp areas. A musty smell and a slimy or powdery texture are signs. If you see staining that doesn't wipe off easily, it's likely mold or mildew growth that needs professional treatment.

We first assess the damage and replace deteriorated posts with pressure-treated or cedar options that resist moisture. We use concrete footings set above ground level to prevent water pooling. For existing posts, we apply wood hardeners and sealants. We also clean and treat moldy sections before repainting to ensure long-lasting results.
