Termites can cause serious problems if your wood flooring is damaged.
Although termite damage may not be obvious, there are signs you should look out for in your wood floors. Termites are known as the silent destroyer. They eat dead wood from within. Termites cause wood to become weaker, resulting in unusual sounds when they are walked on.
Hardwoods that have been damaged by termites may creak or squeak from movement between planks or damage to the subfloor or supports.
Floors with loose boards, small holes or crumbling wood, as well as floors that buckle and sag, crack, or sag, could be indicative of termite damage. A termite infestation could lead to serious damage to floors and other areas of your house. It is important to call a pest control professional as soon as you discover that termites are present to avoid further damage.
Victoria Floor Sanding will be able to assess the damage if the termite problem is resolved by the pest control professional. We'll tell you what options are available to you, whether you want us to replace your flooring entirely with new boards of flooring or to repair the flooring.
As long as there are no foundation issues, it is relatively easy to repair hardwood floors with termite infestation. There might be boards with less severe damage. In such cases, we will use wood filler, then sand and refinish. Boards that are severely termite damaged will need to be replaced. We'll remove any boards that need to be replaced and install new planks. Finally, we'll sand the surface and refinish.
