What Puts Wood Posts At Risk?

All wood will rot if exposed to enough moisture. So if you have a post-frame building in Springfield IL, you can expect to face wetness and, eventually, rot. If your wooden posts retain a moisture content of 20 percent or higher and don’t often dry out, you can expect bacteria and fungal problems. Rain, ice, snow and drainage issues contribute to wood rot.

What’s The Traditional Wood Post Repair Method?

Rotting wood components used to mean expensive repair and excavation work. Sometimes, building owners would cut out the rotted portion and replace it with a pre-cast concrete post or affix an additional post to the rotted one. Those solutions have significant downsides.

What Products Make Repair Easier?

Anthem Built offers a line of repair products that make repairs fast, effective and affordable. Our products include:

• Column repair sleeves: We make these from corrugated 10-gauge galvanized steel. When you affix these to your compromised columns, the rotten portion is completely reinforced. Separating the wood from soil prevents moisture from reaching the wood. These come in a variety of sizes and dimensions.
• Column covers: Like the column repair sleeves, these are also made from corrugated 10-gauge galvanized steel. They cover the exterior face of your column completely and increase its strength.
• Repair sockets: These anchor to your concrete floor/foundation. Like our other options, they are made of corrugated 10-gauge galvanized steel. As long as your concrete floor is stable and in good condition, these are quick and easy to install.
