We can determine whether a residential or commercial structure has sustained WDI damage.
When certain pests take up residence in a home or business, they can cause significant damage. One example is wood destroying insects (WDI), a category that includes termites and carpenter ants, among others. Termites break down and consume anything that contains cellulose, which includes the wood components used to build and hold up a structure. A home often has wood beams, which can serve as a place for wood destroying insects to feast. When a colony of these insects gets access to a steady food source, they’re unlikely to leave. As a result, they will continue to feast upon the wood and cause ongoing structural damage, as well as reproduce and increase the size of the colony.
It’s not always easy to know when a structure has WDI damage. Termites and other WDIs tend to stay hidden, which makes them difficult to spot. You may notice signs like swelling in the floors or ceilings, musty odors in the area, or buckling wood components. Some termites also bore holes, which you may spot on the property. But the best way to determine whether a structure has suffered WDI damage is to schedule an inspection with a skilled professional.
