YOUR EXPERTS IN WOODWORM TREATMENT AND PREVENTION
Woodworm infestations can affect any commercial or residential building with a timber structure. Caused by the larvae of several beetle species, woodworm is often spotted long after the larvae have emerged. Even through the damage is already done, it can be fixed and prevented from returning.
At North West Dry Rot we have over 25 years’ experience in dealing with woodworm infestations. We can quickly identify the problem, carry out repairs, and provide an effective solution to prevent the beetles from returning.
Based in Liverpool our experts are available throughout the city and the wider region. In addition to woodworm we can also help with wet rot and basement waterproofing.
WAT ARE THE SIGNS TO LOOK OUT FOR?
The most obvious sign of woodworm is little holes dotted throughout your timber. These are the burrows from which the beetles emerge. You may also notice frass - bore dust - nearby. On occasion you may also spot the beetles themselves. In any case if you are unsure, our team will be more than happy to provide a free initial assessment.
TRUST OUR TEAM TO HELP
We carry out a wide range of treatments for the eradication and control of all commonly found wood boring insects. Following inspection by our surveyor, we will provide a report of our findings and a quotation for treatments if found necessary. We utilise water-based, low-odour treatments to preserve the timber and prevent the beetles and their larvae from returning. The preservative penetrates deep into the timber to provide an effective deterrent.
WHAT IF THE DAMAGE IS TOO SEVERE?
If the damage is substantial, rest assured knowing we can still help. During our work, if we notice any timber which is structurally impacted, we can remove and replace it with high-quality treated timber.
