The Best Method for Rotted Post Repair in Berks County PA

Have the years and seasons taken their toll on your pole barns? We’re not surprised! As durable and long-lasting as post-frame structures can be, they have minor issues that tend to turn into major stability concerns. Ever-problematic wood rot can settle into the columns of your building’s frame, severely compromising its structural integrity and facilitating the need for repair or restoration. Thankfully, when it comes to rotted post repair for Berks County PA, The Pro Barn Saver has an unlikely solution. Call today to learn more!

What’s the Problem?

The problem is wood rot! It always has been! Wood rot has been an issue for as long as post-frame construction has become one of the fastest, most affordable, and most reliable ways of erecting durable structures. Due to the nature of older (and some newer) post-frame buildings constructed, they have the wood posts part of their frame set directly or close to the soil. In turn, this invites issues like:

  • Wood becoming exposed to excessive moisture in the soil
  • The chance for termites, carpenter ants and other wood-eating insects to feast on your column
  • Problems like cracks or splits in the wood lead to further deterioration
  • Bacterial and fungal growth eats away at the base of your frame’s columns

Worse yet, once wood rot sets in, there’s no way to eliminate it. Short of replacing an entire column, the deterioration in your wood is there to stay. However, this isn’t an issue for The Pro Barn Saver and our innovative rotted post repair for Berks County PA.

  • Restore a Column’s Strength and Resistance – Unfortunately, wood rot saps much of the strength from your structure’s frame, compromising its stability and risking damage to your property and the building’s inhabitants. However, that strength can be restored to a higher level with a Column Repair Sleeve. Each sleeve is made from corrugated, 10-gauge galvanized steel, strengthening a column beyond its prior strength. Also, the sleeves cover any rotted wood parts, preventing further deterioration.
  • Implement Fast Repairs – You don’t want your post-frame structures to be out of commission for too long! Yet, typical column replacement can take anywhere from days to weeks to complete. Column repair using Repair Sleeves, on the other hand, is super fast for our contractors! Our Repair Sleeves come in custom sizes to fit any column dimensions and include uplift components so they can effortlessly fit into your existing uplift system. Repairs that once took weeks to finish can now be done in a day!
  • Save Big on Contracting Costs – In addition to the time it takes, standard post-frame restoration can cost a considerable amount when it’s all said and done. This can be especially true if you have to replace multiple posts as part of your frame. Conversely, Column Repair Sleeves don’t require as many materials and do not require nearly as much labor to install. Due to Column Sleeve installation’s reduced material and labor demands, property owners can save significantly on repair costs!
