Who ever this company is, they are trying to get in your pants...for money. I used to work in a hardware store and i sold concrete, theres hydraulic, fast setting, the stuff with pea gravel, mortar mix.. the list goes on. There is no such thing as concrete washing away unless you have just finished setting it and a hurricane strikes. Now yes, over time it will crack and chip and parts can break away but this guy is being rediculous.I would look for any signs of concrete ever being poured and if there are none, say " this kid on Yahoo said you're ridiculous and that you should fix my damn fence.''

Where I live, it is common to sink 4x4 treated fence posts using concrete. Over time they will rot away and require replacement.
The easiest way I found to pull them up is to attach a fulcrum, to the post, using a 2x4. On one end I support it with cinderblock, and on the other end I use a car jack. As the fence post is pulled up, I add another cinder block to both sides of my fulcrum, until the post clears the ground. The nice thing about this method is that it leaves my hole intact, so I can go back with a new post and concrete if I need to.

drill a series of small(1/2 in) holes across the middle of post that has been cut off at level of concrete. take a sawzall and clean out the wood the bit missed. now you should be able to collapse the two sides inward and work them out, or at least enough of them to get a new post in the same hole

i once watched a guy use a tire jack to remove a fence post .. he wrapped the post tight with a chain , hooked the chain onto the jack and worked it up and then reset the chain as needed. the jack in question had three legs on it .

Use a pry/pinch bar to break the concrete round the post.
An hours hard work and its out.

Rent a jack hammer, bust up the concrete and remove both concrete and post. Then you only need to add the new post and pour new concrete.

Dig down below and around the concrete, and then shake it side to side until it loosens and pull out

Hard work, just invest in a Strong fork and spade, and get out there and start digging.
