A woodworm infestation can wreak serious havoc on your home. Woodworms can eat through timber fibre and permanently damage your building’s structure, requiring extensive repairs to fix. Worst of all, they’re nearly impossible to spot until the damage is done.
The thought of rot in the home is enough to make any homeowner panic. Left unchecked, rot can cause the timber in your home to grow brittle or soft, weakening its structure and requiring costly repair work to fix.
