Woodworm? A simple tip for the less experienced surveyors.

I learned this as a young surveyor when being mentored by an excellent more experienced surveyor so I feel obliged to pass it on.

Watching videos of these shits make me scratch myself lol. Évolution made us do that somehow i guess

[@sebastienbaeyens2358]

Do you have to replace all the wood if it looks lik4 the video. Is there a case where you can still save the construction

[@mikebills9343]

So what’s next ? What test tell you if the timber is good to treat or change for new ? TIA

[@lauratier6783]

What exactly is your point is it or not active woodworm

[@Mr27363]

Hi Laura, my point is that it is not active, evidenced by the fact that there is no bore dust on or below the timbers as I explained in the video.

[@essentialhandyman]

Excellent tip regarding the torch angle. I did not know this. Question on the missing bore dust on the floor comment. Would you not expect any fras to have been blown away in the typical draughty loft void?

HOW soon after buying a piece of furniture with woodworm holes would u notice sawdust on the floor
