Wood Damage – Is It Water or Termites
Sep 23, 2016Think you’re safe from termites because you don’t live in a house constructed of wood? Think again! No matter the type of home you live in, you’re susceptible to these nasty, little bugs. They will feed on your wood frames, wooden cabinets, any wood-based furniture you own, and more.
If you’ve seen buckling wood, sagging walls, or small piles of shed wings, you might be infested. Sometimes homeowners even mistakenly think that termite damage is actually water damage, because the appearance is oftentimes similar.
Because termites leave the exterior of wood intact, it’s also possible that you might not even notice any damage until it’s too late. A termite queen has the longest average lifespan of any other type of insect, and termite colonies can vary from a few hundred to several million.
