Woodworm Treatment
If You're Seeing Exit Holes In Timber, The Damage Has Already Been Happening For Years.
Woodworm infestations often remain hidden until significant damage has already occurred. While the small holes in timber may seem harmless, they are often the visible sign of larvae that have been feeding within the wood for years. Valkor provides professional woodworm treatment services designed to stop active infestations, protect structural timbers, and help prevent further deterioration.
The Cost Of Waiting
Woodworm damage rarely improves on its own.
Wood-boring beetles lay eggs within timber structures, and once the larvae hatch, they tunnel through the wood while feeding. This hidden activity can continue for several years before becoming noticeable.
The longer an active infestation remains untreated, the greater the potential risk to the affected timber.
The risks include:
-
1
Progressive weakening of structural timber
-
2
Damage to floorboards, roof timbers, beams, and joists
-
3
Reduced property value and survey concerns
-
4
Increased repair costs as damage worsens
-
5
Hidden infestations spreading to additional timber
