Laminate Flooring Damage
Damage caused to laminate flooring by termite infestations can appear similar to typical water damage. Laminate will blister and sag in affected areas. If inspected more closely, a hollow network of tunnels will be discovered beneath buckled areas. In order to address damage done to laminate flooring, it is often necessary to rip up old laminate and lay new flooring.
To prevent these costly procedures, it is advised that homeowners schedule annual termite inspections with licensed exterminators. While inspectors previously relied upon screw driver and flashlight inspection, technology is advancing rapidly: infrared and microwave detection services are highly accurate and non-invasive options.
