After a hard winter or a heavy rain in the mountains, leaning fence posts are one of the most common problems around Spruce Pine. Frost heaves shallow footings and runoff on steep ground washes soil from around posts.
What to check
- Soil washed away from the base of posts
- Posts that move when you push the top rail
- Water running along the fence line instead of away from it
- Gates that suddenly drag or will not latch
One or two loose posts can usually be reset deeper. If many posts along a slope are moving, a repair that also steers water away from the line lasts longer. Use the form to request a free estimate.
