Protecting Your Home from Woodworm in Skelmersdale

🪲 Woodworm Can Quietly Destroy Your Home’s Timbers

Woodworm infestations in Skelmersdale homes often go unnoticed until significant damage has already been done. These timber-boring beetles target roof joists, floorboards, beams, and structural timbers, feeding from the inside out and weakening the integrity of your home.

At Weather Wise Solutions, we offer expert woodworm inspections and treatments using trusted systems from PAM Ties, following best practices from the Damp Proofing Association.

🔍 How to Spot Woodworm Early

✅ Small, round exit holes in timber surfaces
✅ Fine, powdery dust (frass) near beams or floorboards
✅ Weak, creaky, or damaged timber
✅ Dead beetles or larvae near infested areas (often seen in spring/summer)

Common culprits include the Common Furniture Beetle (Anobium punctatum) and, in some cases, the Deathwatch Beetle for older or historic homes.

⚠️ Why Fast Treatment Matters

Left untreated, woodworm can:

Weaken structural beams and floor supports
Lead to costly repairs or timber replacements
Spread to connected timbers across the home
Reduce the value and safety of your property
