We Can Repair Termite-Damaged Wood 

Termites can cause serious damage to the wood in your home and ignoring it can lead to bigger problems. While it’s frustrating when termites chew through cabinets, furniture, and baseboards, the real danger comes when they start eating away at structural elements such as studs, beams, and rafters. This can compromise the structural integrity of your home and lead to costly repairs if not quickly addressed.

Kilter Termite and Pest Control offers wood repair and replacement services as part of our comprehensive termite control in Rancho Palos Verdes. We understand that stopping termites is only part of the solution because it’s just as important to repair the damage they leave behind.

Why Does My Home Have Termites? 

Termites can be a homeowner's worst nightmare. These wood-eating pests often invade homes for several reasons, most of which are related to the environment and structural conditions. While they may be small, termites can cause significant damage if not addressed early. Understanding the reasons why termites are attracted to your home can help prevent future infestations and minimize the damage they cause. 

The following are a few common reasons why termites might be targeting your home:

• Moisture: Termites thrive in damp environments. Leaky pipes, poor drainage, or humid basements can attract them.
• Wood-to-ground contact: Wooden structures that touch the soil provide direct access for termites to enter your home.
• Cracks in the foundation: Termites can enter through even the smallest cracks in your home’s foundation.
• Mulch near your foundation: Mulch retains moisture, which can draw termites closer to your home’s foundation.
• Clogged gutters: When gutters are blocked, water overflows and creates moisture buildup around your home’s exterior.
• Dead wood or tree stumps: Termites love decaying wood, so dead trees or stumps near your house can lure them in.

Our pest control technicians can identify any conditions such as these around your property, giving you the information you need to make your home less of an enticing target for termites. If you aren’t confident remediating these conditions on your own, we can perform certain services and develop an actionable plan for you to follow.
