Wood and Vinyl Fencing Mobile AL | Call Youngs Family Builders

The most common cause is fence post erosion, especially after heavy rains. Mobile’s sandy soil can wash away from the base of the post, making the gate sag or misalign. Poor drainage around your yard speeds this up, but periodic checks and proper installation by Youngs Family Builders can prevent it.

Look for signs like water pooling near the post base, visible gaps between the post and the ground, or a soft, spongy feel when you push the post. Cracks in the concrete or a leaning fence are also red flags. If you spot these, call Youngs Family Builders to reinforce or replace the post before the gate alignment gets worse.

Often, yes. The solution depends on the damage. If the post has minimal erosion, we can dig out the base, add gravel for drainage, and reset it with concrete. For severe erosion, we’ll replace the post and rehang the gate. We always match materials and ensure proper drainage to stop future problems.
