Fence Repair Services
Fences often require repairs due to rotting or split wood panels, which weaken privacy and security, or warped and cracked vinyl, caused by extreme weather. Leaning posts can result from shifting soil or storm damage, while rusted or bent metal sections reduce durability. Chain-link fences frequently develop loose mesh or sagging tension wires, and gates may misalign or have broken latches, making them difficult to open and close. Prompt repairs ensure your fence remains strong, functional, and visually appealing for years to come.
Rotted or Split Wood Panels
Wood fences are vulnerable to moisture, insects, and weather damage, leading to rotting or splitting panels over time. If left untreated, decay can spread, weakening the entire structure. Rot typically starts at the base where moisture collects, while splitting often results from sun exposure and temperature changes. Repairing this issue involves removing damaged boards, replacing them with treated wood, and applying sealants or stains to prevent future deterioration. Regular maintenance, such as staining and sealing, helps extend the lifespan of your wood fence.
Warped or Cracked Vinyl Panels
Vinyl fences are known for their durability and low maintenance, but our extreme temperatures in Peoria can cause warping or cracking. While resilient, heat exposure may lead to panels bending or sagging, while cold weather can make them brittle and prone to fractures. Cracked vinyl sections weaken the structure and affect the fence’s appearance. Repairs typically involve replacing individual damaged panels, ensuring a seamless look. Choosing high-quality, UV-resistant vinyl and periodic cleaning can help prevent future warping and maintain the fence’s integrity.
Leaning or Unstable Fence Posts
Leaning fence posts occur when soil shifts, water erodes the foundation, or posts rot over time. This weakens the overall fence structure, making it susceptible to collapse. Depending on the extent of the damage, repairs may involve reinforcing the post with concrete, replacing the post entirely, or adjusting nearby soil conditions to provide a stable base. Properly setting posts in deep, well-packed concrete footings during initial installation reduces the chances of leaning and ensures long-term stability.
Rusted or Bent Metal Sections
Metal fences, including wrought iron, aluminum, and chain-link, are durable but can suffer from rust, corrosion, or impact damage. Rust weakens structural integrity, while dents or bends compromise security and appearance. Small rust spots can be sanded down and repainted, while larger rusted areas may require replacement of affected sections. Bent metal bars can sometimes be reshaped using specialized tools, but severely damaged parts need to be replaced. Regular anti-rust coatings and cleaning help protect metal fences from long-term damage.
Loose or Sagging Chain-Link Fences
Chain-link fences can sag over time due to loose tension wires, broken fasteners, or shifting posts. This can create weak points in the fence, reducing security and making it easier for pets or intruders to pass through. Repairs involve tightening or replacing tension wires, reinforcing posts, and securing any damaged mesh sections. If multiple areas are affected, replacing large portions of the fence may be necessary. Regular inspections and adjustments help keep chain-link fences strong and properly aligned.
Misaligned or Broken Gates and Hardware Issues
A fence is only as functional as its gate, and over time, hinges, latches, and locks can wear out, causing misalignment or difficulty in operation. Soil shifting or sagging posts can lead to a gate dragging on the ground, while rusted or broken hardware can prevent proper closure. Repairs may include replacing hinges, realigning posts, or installing stronger latches for better security. Regular lubrication and hardware checks can extend the life of your gate and keep it operating smoothly.
