Fence Posts Leaning After Heavy Rain? What to Check

October 27, 2026

After a hard rain in the foothills, leaning fence posts are one of the most common problems around Toccoa. Red clay sheds water fast, and runoff can wash soil away from posts that were set too shallow.

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.
