When DIY goes wrong: severe woodworm & wet rot uncovered in Leicester
During a recent inspection we found a floor that had been “treated” years ago by drilling holes and injecting DIY insecticide. Unfortunately, the infestation was never eradicated. Today the boards and joists show extensive wood-boring insect damage and wet rot, leaving the floor unsafe.
Our Leicester team will replace the affected timbers, improve subfloor ventilation, and apply professional treatments to protect the property for the long term.
If you’ve spotted frass, exit holes or soft, crumbling timber, don’t risk it.
