Termite Damage Repair in Lake Charles
LC Home Defence — Termite Damage Repair in Lake Charles
This is the carpentry side, after the termites are gone. We cut out wood that's been hollowed or weakened and rebuild it so the floor, wall, or sill does its job again. It's done once a treatment page's work is finished, not instead of it.
Which ones you get here
- Sill plate and joist repair: Common in raised houses on piers, where termites travel up from damp ground into the sill and the floor above it starts to give.
- Slab perimeter and door jamb repair: On slab homes the damage shows at baseboards, jambs, and framing near the slab edge, with no crawl space to check it from below.
- Load-bearing wall and stud repair: Requires temporary bracing before anything is cut out, since the wall is holding weight while we work.
- Subfloor and decking repair: The visible floor often looks fine until it's cut open, because the damage runs along the underside of the plywood first.
What termite damage repair involves
- Open up the area: We cut back drywall, trim, or flooring to see how far the damage actually runs before touching any structure.
- Check what's still load-bearing: We find out what the wood is still holding up, and brace or support it before anything comes out.
- Remove the damaged wood: Hollowed sills, joists, or studs come out in sections so the surrounding structure stays supported.
- Rebuild and close it back up: New lumber goes in sistered or in place, then trim, flooring, or drywall goes back over it.
When you need it
- A floor that feels soft or springy in one spot.
- A door or window that's started sticking for no reason.
- Paint or wood that looks fine but sounds hollow when you knock on it.
- A baseboard or jamb that gives when you press on it.
What changes the job
Size depends on what's behind the wall, not what you can see from the room. A pier-and-beam house lets us check joists from the crawl space before cutting anything upstairs; a slab home means opening walls blind and hoping the damage doesn't run far. Older homes in the city often have original framing that's harder to match; post-rebuild houses tend to have newer lumber but sometimes thinner studs. The real scope is set once the wall or floor is open.
