How Do I Know That I Need Termite Wood Repair Services?
You may not always know when you need termite wood repair services. Sometimes, the damage is serious enough that it will be visible. You may notice kick-out holes in the exposed wood around your house, such as the struts in your attic. In severe cases, you may see an entire section of wood that has been eaten away. To the untrained eye, the damage may look like rot. If there are tracks and small holes, then it is most likely a termite infestation. The only way to know for sure is to schedule a free inspection with a professional.
Termite Wood Repair Options
We have two main approaches when it comes to repairing wood that a termite colony has damaged. We can fill the area, or we can replace it. Each method has benefits and drawbacks. Our team will explain which option is the best choice for your home based on the severity of the infestation. Whichever method you choose, it’s vital to eliminate the termites first. However, it is helpful to understand each option, which includes:
Wood Filler
When an infestation is relatively minor and has not completely eaten away parts of struts, joists, or studs, then wood filler is an excellent option. It is more budget-friendly than replacing an entire section of wood. It can also last for as long as the infestation stays at bay. We fill all holes with wood filler that seals off all the termites’ kick-out holes.
Wood Replacement
When termites have caused enough damage to a piece of wood, it may need to be completely replaced. When the structural integrity of a piece of wood is compromised, your home is at risk of more serious damage. We can strategically replace pieces of wood that were infested and return you home to normal.
