Wood destroying insects (WDI) can cause varying degrees of damage and structural damage to your property when left unnoticed. That’s why it’s important to catch and resolve the presence of the insects right away to prevent any extensive damage to the wood structures on your property. Here are a few ways you can tell if you have any WDI damage on your property.
- Holes bored into your wood: Odd holes bored into your wooden structures around your home or building make it pretty easy to recognize the presence of WDI damage and insects in general. We can determine the extent of the damage and whether the insects are still infesting the property or not with a WDI inspection.
- Swelling in floors and buckling wood: Another sign of WDI damage is swelling floors or ceilings and buckling wood. While you may not see the extent of the damage from the outer surfaces, the damage beneath causing such swelling and buckling could be more concerning and extensive.
- WDI inspections: The best way to determine whether you have any WDI damage or infestations is with a WDI inspection. Our licensed inspectors can thoroughly inspect your home or building for any signs of damage or past or current presence of wood destroying insects and offer recommendations and referrals for trusted local pest control companies that can remedy your termite or other insect infestation. You can always schedule an inspection, whether you’ve recognized any sign of damage or termites or simply have a hunch that something might be wrong.
