Termites can cause a variety of damage to homes and commercial buildings, including:
Structural damageTermites eat wood, leaving behind long grooves that can weaken wood and create structural damage. These grooves can form a honeycomb pattern or a maze-like design inside walls or furniture.
Water damageTermite damage can sometimes look like water damage, with areas that appear to be suffering from slight water damage.
Other damage
Termites can also damage books, insulation, swimming pool liners and filters, support beams, columns, and foundations.
