Nobody wants to find woodworm munching their way through their home, but it's a common problem. According to the British Pest Control Association (BPCA), a staggering one in five UK homes is battling these pesky critters.

If your home is like 71% of houses in the UK, it's probably been built with cavity walls. While these offer better insulation, moisture control, and soundproofing than solid walls, there's a catch: the hidden ties holding them together can sometimes fail.

Wet rot is something every homeowner should watch out for - it can stain furniture, damage structures, and become a serious threat to the integrity of your home. But there's good news: with the right knowledge, you can tackle even the most severe cases.
