Questions and Answers
What causes a wood fence to rot and lean after a South Salt Lake winter?
In South Salt Lake, repeated freeze-thaw cycles cause moisture to get trapped inside wood fence posts and rails. When that moisture freezes, it expands and splits the wood fibers, leading to rot. Settling soil from snowmelt also loosens post footings, causing the fence to lean. White Light Fence can diagnose these issues, replace rotted sections, and apply weatherproofing treatments to help your fence stand up to our local winters.
My automatic gate is sticking or not opening fully—what might be wrong?
An automatic gate that sticks often has a damaged track or a misaligned hinge, which can happen after heavy snow or debris buildup. In South Salt Lake, road salt and sand can also corrode the gate’s moving parts. White Light Fence specializes in automatic gate repair, and we can realign the track, clean and lubricate the mechanism, and replace worn parts to get your gate operating smoothly again.
How can I tell if my fence needs weatherproofing before next winter?
If you see cracking, peeling paint, or water stains on your fence, it’s a sign that moisture is already penetrating the wood. You may also notice swelling or a musty smell near the base of the posts. White Light Fence offers fence weatherproofing services, including sealing and staining, to create a protective barrier. We recommend scheduling this service in late summer or early fall before the snow arrives in South Salt Lake.
