Termite Damage Repair in New Iberia

Xeno Exclusion — Termite Damage Repair in New Iberia

This is the carpentry side of a termite problem: cutting out wood that termites have already hollowed and putting sound lumber back in its place. We only do this once the termites themselves have been dealt with, so the same wood doesn't get eaten twice.

Which ones you get here

• Sill plate and band joist damage: Common under raised, pier-and-beam houses where the sill sits low to the ground; the house has to be supported and leveled before we cut anything out.
• Subfloor and joist damage: Found under flooring on slab and pier homes alike; we pull up the finished floor first, so the repair is as much demo as carpentry.
• Wall stud and framing damage: Hidden behind drywall, often worse than it looks from outside; if a stud is load-bearing we brace the wall before it comes out.
• Fascia, soffit, and trim damage: Usually the first thing anyone notices, and the easiest to get at since it's all exterior, no demo inside the house needed.

What termite damage repair involves

1. Open up the area: We pull back drywall, flooring, or siding until we can see where the damage actually stops, not just where it starts.
2. Check what's load-bearing: We figure out which members are holding weight and which are just along for the ride, since that decides sistering versus full replacement.
3. Cut out and replace: Damaged wood comes out, new lumber goes in and gets tied into the existing framing so it carries load the way the original did.
4. Close it back up: Drywall, subfloor, trim, or siding goes back on and gets finished to match what was there before.

When you need it

• A spot in the floor that feels soft or gives a little when you walk on it.
• A door or window that's started sticking for no obvious reason.
• Wood that sounds hollow or papery when you knock on it.
• Trim or baseboard that looks blistered, rippled, or crushed in.

What changes the job

Size depends on what's behind the wall once we open it. A pier-and-beam house with damage in the sill plate means jacking and leveling before any cutting starts; a slab home might just mean new subfloor under one room. Older houses in town often have damage stacked from more than one infestation over the years, so what looks small from the outside can run further than expected once we're in it.
