Termites have been described as the “silent destroyers.” The name fits because termites can sneak into a home, damage a great deal of it, and then be gone from sight and out of mind until long after the damage has been done. However, knowing what they do and how to look for signs that could warn you of the problem and help prevent such “silent” destruction is essential to protecting your property from these destructive habits.
Termites basically eat cellulose, which forms wood, paper, and most other organic materials. Termites’ feeding habits can actually lead to destruction in two major forms:
Structural Damage
Subterranean and drywood termites can undermine the structure of your home. They begin to consume the wooden beams, joists, and floors, which ends with sagging ceilings, buckled walls, even total structures.
Aesthetic Damage
The action of a termite might also impact the aesthetic value of your property. Damage includes peeling paint, hollowed-out wood, and ugly stains on walls or ceilings; these could impact the value of your home and its allure.
Knowledge that you have termite damage beforehand may save you the pain and costly repairs. The following are prevalent signs of termite damage:
Visible Wood Damage
If the wood thuds hollow or soft when tapped, then it must be that there is indeed termite infestation.
Droppings that Resemble Sawdust
The droppings of termites, commonly known as frass, are like wood shavings or sawdust. When these piles are close to wood-based structures or furniture, then you know that this means infestation.
Peeling or Bubbling Paint
When the paint peels or balloons, it can be due to the moisture caused by termite damage. Also, windows or doors that stick or do not open might be an indication of structural difficulties that result from termites.
