Recently, the client was informed of suspected termite signs during a house inspection. Despite the fact that we are not a pest management organization, we are aware that some symptoms warrant further investigation. There was significant damage discovered.

Termite damage can be a costly, destructive and dangerous problem for any homeowner. Termites are small, but powerful insects that feed on wood and other cellulose-based materials. Left unchecked, they can cause serious damage to an exterior wall.

Termites burrow into the wood of exterior walls, creating channels and pathways that can weaken the structure. This can cause cracking, buckling, and other forms of wood rot. Cracks in the wood can also allow moisture to enter, which can cause further damage.

The best way to prevent termite damage is to inspect your exterior walls regularly, looking for any signs of damage. You should also check around your foundation, windows, and doors for any signs of termites. If you spot any signs of possible infestation, call a professional right away.

In addition to preventing termite damage, homeowners should also be proactive in keeping their exterior walls in good condition. Regularly cleaning and repainting your walls can help prevent moisture from getting trapped in the wood and causing further damage.

If you do find termite damage, don’t panic. A professional pest control company can help you rid your home of termites and prevent further damage. They can also help you repair any damage that has already been done.

Termite damage can be a costly and destructive problem for any homeowner. Regular inspection, maintenance and repair are the best ways to prevent and repair termite damage to your exterior walls. If you suspect termite damage, don’t hesitate to call a professional for help.
