Fence Repair Fairfield County CT
Wood is vulnerable to nature, you have the sun, wind, rain, snow and insects that can damage it. Being outdoors all the time your fence takes a lot of abuse and sooner or later it will need fence repair.
Rot is a wood fence's biggest enemy. If posts aren't properly treated or set in concrete they will typically rot away at ground level. Also, bottom rails with bushes or plants rubbing against them traps water which can be very damaging to your fence and need considerable fence repair.
Posts can come loose and wobble, rails and boards can deteriorate and gates can sag. One weak or damaged post can pull down an entire fence.
When an annual inspection is done (preferably in spring) and reveals damages, fence repair is crucial to prevent further extensive damage that will be costly.
Here are some pointers that you can do to prevent fence damage that would require fence repair:
1. Use pressure treated wood- helps ward off premature need for fence repair.
2. Remove all debris- piles of leaves, stacks of lumber anything that is leaning up against it.
3. Make a drainage path underneath the fence -to prevent water from collecting underneath it.
4. Cut post ends to a slant or topped with a wooden or metal cap- to prevent water from penetrating it.
5. Stain or paint the fence- Paint often to protect it.
6. Inspect and repair any damages- to prevent extensive damage.
