  "articleBody": "When you're trying to fix a leaning fence in your East Bay home, it's easy to fall into some common traps. We see a few recurring mistakes that homeowners make, and knowing them can save you a lot of time and frustration. First off, a big no-no is trying to \"save\" a post that's already visibly rotten or has clear termite damage. Trust me, it’s a temporary fix at best and usually ends up costing more in the long run. Another frequent mistake is ignoring the underlying drainage or soil issues that might be causing the lean in the first place. If the ground around your fence posts is constantly soggy, simply re-setting the post won't solve the core problem. You've got to address the drainage! Also, remember to call 811 before you dig anywhere. You definitely don't want to hit a utility line. Lastly, if you do re-set a post, make sure to remove any load from the fence section and brace it properly while the concrete cures. Rushing this step can lead to your fence leaning all over again. If you're dealing with multiple bad posts, or if the soil seems really unstable, it's smart to bring in a professional. We can ensure the job is done right and stands strong for years to come. Give Frasheski Construction a call if you need some expert help!",
