Q&A
What causes gate sagging in Slidell's humid climate?
In Slidell’s high humidity, wood absorbs moisture, causing it to swell and warp. Over time, this puts stress on hinges and posts, leading to sagging. Heat and rain cycles accelerate wood rot, while loose hardware exacerbates the issue. Watertight Construction addresses this by replacing damaged wood, reinforcing hinges, and adjusting posts to ensure gates align properly.
How can I tell if my fence has termite damage?
Signs of termite damage include hollow-sounding wood, mud tubes on fence posts, small holes in the wood, or visible swarmers near the fence. You may also notice sections that feel soft or crumble when touched. If you suspect termites, call Watertight Construction for a thorough inspection and prompt repair.
What solutions does Watertight Construction offer for humidity-damaged fences?
Watertight Construction replaces rotted or warped wood with pressure-treated or cedar lumber resistant to moisture. For gates, they install heavy-duty hinges and anti-sag kits, and adjust post footings for stability. They also seal wood to prevent future moisture absorption, ensuring your fence withstands Slidell’s humidity.
