Wood Replacement

Termites can cause serious damage to the wood components of a home by feeding on the cellulose found in wood. Over time, termite activity can weaken beams, joists, studs, rafters, and other wood members.

Once termite damage has occurred, treating the termites alone may not restore the damaged wood. Damaged or structurally compromised wood may need to be repaired or replaced to restore the strength and integrity of the structure.

• Soft, hollow, or weakened wood 
• Crumbling or damaged wood 
• Visible termite galleries or tunnels 
• Sagging or weakened structural members 
• Damaged beams, joists, studs, or rafters 
• Wood damage around crawl spaces, attics, foundations, doors, and windows 

JBC Termite & Pest Control can identify areas of termite-damaged wood and provide recommendations for necessary repairs. Depending on the extent of the damage, repairs may involve removing damaged wood and replacing it with new structural material.

We can also help coordinate wood repair work when repairs are needed following termite activity.

Repairing damaged wood can help:

• Restore structural strength 
• Prevent further deterioration 
• Replace weakened or compromised wood 
• Address damage caused by previous termite activity 
• Protect the long-term condition of your home 

Important: Termite treatment and wood repair are two different parts of addressing termite damage. Eliminating the active termite problem is important, but damaged wood may still require repair or replacement
