Deck Post Repair
Atlanta Deck Post Repair & Stabilization
If your deck feels uneven, shaky, or looks like it’s starting to pull away from your home, the issue might be below the surface. At Anglin’s Foundation & Masonry Repairs, we specialize in stabilizing sinking deck posts and failing support columns to restore both safety and peace of mind.
In Georgia’s unpredictable clay soil, deck posts often settle or shift over time — especially when installed without proper footings or exposed to poor drainage. Left unchecked, this can cause your deck to sag, lean, or even collapse.
We’ve helped hundreds of Atlanta-area homeowners repair and restore their decks, porches, sunrooms, and outdoor structures. Our expert team will assess the damage, identify the underlying cause, and implement a permanent repair solution that keeps your space safe, level, and long-lasting.

Our Deck Post Repair Process
At Anglin’s, we use time-tested methods and modern technology to restore deck stability — safely and permanently. Depending on your property and the extent of the damage, our repair solutions may include:
Here’s how we repair sinking or settling stoops and porches:
Inspection & Evaluation
Installing deep-driven steel piers to bypass unstable soil and anchor into load-bearing strata
Foundation Stabilization
Using hydraulic jacks to lift and level sagging deck structures
Hydraulic Lifting & Leveling
Securing high-strength steel brackets to permanently hold everything in place
Anchoring & Reinforcement
Correcting footing size, depth, and materials to meet modern safety standards
Masonry Repair & Cosmetic Finishing
Improving drainage or slope to prevent future soil erosion beneath your deck
Whether your deck is sinking due to poor initial construction or soil movement, we’ll ensure it’s fully supported from the ground up — for life.
Why Deck Posts Fail
Unlike many foundation repair companies, Anglin’s combines structural expertise with skilled masonry craftsmanship. Not only do we stabilize your foundation, but we also repair cosmetic and structural damage caused by settling:
- Unstable clay soil that expands and contracts with moisture changes
- Water erosion from improper drainage or negative yard slope
- Rotting wood or rusted steel posts with inadequate protection
- Thin or missing concrete footings, or posts set directly in dirt
- Lack of steel reinforcement or compacted soil under the structure
When these problems cause deck posts to sink, it creates stress on the entire deck frame. Over time, you may notice signs like sagging, tilting, or cracks where the deck meets the house — all indicators that it’s time to take action.
We promise what we do and we do what we promise.
