Termite Damage Signs

Tens of thousands of Singapore homes are affected by termites each year. Termites eat away the very foundation of your home and can create structural problems, including damage to support beams, ceiling joists, posts, panels, wall studs, floor boards and door frames among many others.

 

What Do Termites Feed On

Because termites feed primarily on wood, they are capable of compromising the strength and safety of an infested structure – thereby leading to termite damage.

While termites are important to the ecosystem as they process and decompose waste material (detritus), their feeding behaviour is also one of the major reasons for structural damage in homes.

How Fast Can Termites Do Damage?

Termites are a homeowner’s worst nightmare. These pests can inflict considerable harm on a building’s structure, silently devouring wood in ways that might go unnoticed without a detailed inspection.

While a single termite might take over 3,000 years to consume a 1,000-square-foot home and typically only lives for up to two years, the real issue isn’t the pace of their destruction. The problem lies in the fact that termite damage often remains hidden for years, as these insects quietly eat away at your home from within.

Moreover, several factors contribute to the destructive power of termites, making it crucial to understand these elements to effectively combat termite infestations in your residence.

Structural Property Damage

Even homes not made of wood can fall prey to termites. They can navigate through metal siding, plaster, and even cabinets. Non-wood staircases are similarly vulnerable. Homeowners should seek a termite control specialist in Singapore for an inspection to identify the pest type and discuss treatment options, rather than tackling the issue alone.

Signs of Subterranean Termite Damage

Subterranean termites, living in soil, are known for creating mounds as protection from weather extremes. They use mud tunnels to access food above ground, often running near foundations. Infestations might go unnoticed until significant, resembling water damage or mould. Signs include buckled wood, swollen floors and ceilings, visible mazes in walls or furniture, and a mildew-like odour.

WOOD

Termites that infest wooden structures can cause significant damage over time. They hollow out the wood, weakening its structural integrity.

Slide
SOIL

While termites primarily nest in soil, they can still pose a threat to nearby wooden structures by tunnelling through the soil to access wood. As they create mud tubes, they can easily reach above-ground wood sources.
