Signs of Termite Damage

When termites reside in a home for an extended period of time, they can cause thousands of dollars in damage. Unfortunately, this type of damage is not usually covered by homeowner’s insurance. Nevertheless, it is important to make repairs at the first signs of termite damage. Delaying repairs could result in even further damage and leave your family at risk of hazardous conditions.

The trouble is termite damage can go unnoticed for a while – months or even years. It is important to keep an eye out for any indications that you have or had a termite infestation.

There are several signs that indicate you might have termite damage in your home, including:

• Blisters in wood flooring
• Hard-to-open windows
• Wood damage behind walls or under floors
• Pencil-sized mud tubes on exterior walls
• Mounds of termite droppings
• Wood surfaces that sound hollow
• Maze-like designs in wooden structures
• Discarded termite wings near home access points
• Quiet clicking noises coming from walls
• Unexplained cracks on internal walls and ceilings
• Spongy or springy-feeling floors
• Tight-fitting doors

How to Repair Termite Damaged Walls

Removing the termites infesting your walls is only the first step. Once the termites have been removed, then you can start on the repair work. Our crew at Good Life Construction has the tools and skills you can count on to make sure your walls are structurally sound. We have extensive experience restoring all types of areas destroyed by termites, including siding, trim, framing, rafters, roofing, decking, subarea framing, walls, floors, and more.

There are a few different ways to go about repairing termite damaged walls, including:

• Wood hardeners: When there's minimal termite damage, wood hardeners can be used to fill in the gaps and reinforce the remaining wood.
• Wood replacement: In cases where the damage is so extensive that the wood is no longer usable, we will completely replace the unsalvageable panels.
• Wood fillers: If the termite damage is severe enough that you can see the channels in the wood, we can use wood fillers to fill in the gaps left behind.

Repairing Severe Termite Damage

If a termite infestation is ignored for too long, the damage can become severe enough to threaten your home's structural integrity, potentially leading to floors or ceilings collapsing. Even if the damage isn't an immediate threat to your home's integrity, it can still lead to ruined flooring, furniture, carpeting, and more.

The vast majority of termite damage, no matter how sever, can be repaired by a skilled crew. It can take years of eating away at the wood in your home to cause complete structural failure, but it's vital to get on top of the issue as soon as possible – its incredibly difficult to know the extent of the damage without a complete home inspection.

Can Termite Damage Be Repaired?

The good news is that most termite damage can be fixed. There are two main ways that termite-damaged wood can be repaired – replacing damaged sections of wood entirely, or adding a wood support adjacent to the damaged wood. Adding a wood support is typically the less expensive option, but some damage will require a complete replacement.
