Substructural REPAIRS

Substructural REPAIR FACTS

TERMITES ATTACK 
YOUR HOME FROM BELOW

Termites typically enter through the soil and begin feeding on your home’s substructure, including floor joists and support beams. Because this activity happens in crawl spaces or below ground level, most homeowners don’t notice the damage until it becomes severe and costly to repair.

EXCESS MOISTURE
THE LEADING CAUSE OF WOOD DECAY

High humidity levels—especially above 60%—create the perfect environment for wood rot and fungal growth. In areas like Hampton Roads, this constant moisture not only weakens structural wood but also attracts termites and other pests looking for damp, vulnerable materials.

MOST STRUCTURAL DAMAGE HAPPENS OUT OF SIGHT

A large percentage of termite and moisture-related damage occurs in hidden areas such as crawl spaces. By the time visible signs appear, significant structural weakening may have already taken place, making early inspections critical.

REPAIRS FAIL WITHOUT FIXING MOISTURE PROBLEMS

Simply replacing damaged wood isn’t enough if the underlying moisture issue isn’t addressed. Without proper moisture control, new wood can quickly deteriorate, leading to repeated repairs, higher costs, and ongoing structural risks.
