Shower Leaks can and do attract Termites to your Home
- Termites thrive on moisture and once they become established, they are capable of doing extreme damage to your home. Leaking showers produce perfect conditions for nesting termites.
- Termites are social insects which cause great damage to wooden structures in the home such as frames, joists, bearers, studs, braces, even battens and rafters.
- The elimination of termites by pest controllers is a costly exercise. Once they are detected and eradication processes put into action, then comes the search for the damage they have caused.
- The eradication itself can be very costly, as the exterminator has to dig under your house, concrete driveway, gardens or environs to find the nest.
- If you have a water leak in your shower call “Detectaleak” today to find it for you.
