Wood Rot or Termite Damage

What it means, what causes it, and how we fix it for good in Macon & Middle Georgia.

Structure

What you're seeing

Soft, crumbling, or hollow-sounding wood under your home means moisture has been present long enough to break the wood down — and damp wood is exactly what attracts termites in the first place.

Common causes

Long-term high moisture in the crawl space
Direct wood-to-soil or wood-to-water contact
Poor ventilation and no vapor barrier
Existing or previous termite activity
