Often our customers do not realise that they have a woodworm problem until the resulting damage becomes visible, so early identification is key before the woodworm causes more widespread problems.
Woodworm left untreated can cause serious damage to structural timbers causing them to weaken and become structurally compromised overtime. At Dampdoctor our professional and experienced surveyors have a vast amount of experience and technical knowledge in diagnosing and recommending the most appropriate woodworm treatment for your specific property. Existing timbers can also be inspected and advice given should such timbers become structurally compromised and need to be replaced.
At all times our experienced team identify targeted solutions specific to your property needs ensuring the best use of your budget.

Have a look for yourself!
Structural timbers in Irish properties are particularly susceptible to fungal and insect attacks. This is due to a combination of a predominantly damp, temperate climate and the traditional building methods used in construction. If left untreated dry rot, woodworm and beetle infestations can individually or collectively cause untold damage to the structural timbers in buildings, resulting in costly remedial repairs.
Dry Rot can cause extensive damage to timbers which are exposed to damp conditions combined with a lack of ventilation. There are many species of fungus which vary in the severity of damage they cause. Dry rot (Serpula Lacrymans) is one of the most destructive. The picture below gives us an indication of what Dry Rot can look like.
Common forms of woodworm infestation include:
Deathwatch beetle, Common Furniture Beetle (Anobium punctatum), House Longhorn Beetle (Hylotrupes bajulus), Powderpost Beetle (Bostrychidae), a Wood boring weevil (Euophryum confine).
The type of treatment recommended will depend on the type of infestation, the extent of the damage and general conditions within the property.
Our companies range of remedial wood preservatives and biocides are the most up to date products available and combine maximum effectiveness with the minimum level of hazards to the health and safety of the building’s occupants and to the environment.
Where rot and insect infestations have caused extensive damage to timbers, in certain circumstances we are able to carry out timber resin repairs to decayed sections of structural timbers. This is a highly cost-effective low intervention method of repair which allows decayed ends of timbers and mid sections of the timbers to be strengthened rather than removing and replacing them from the building.
‘We were experiencing severe damp and mould problems in our bathrooms and bedrooms. We also noticed the children were beginning to suffer from chest infections more and more. After receiving recommendations for the Dampdoctor Team, we decided enough was enough and contacted them. The dampdoctor team called and sorted all our problems in a very professional manner. We also got a mould clean which cleaned the affected areas and killed the existing mould spores in the property. Best money we have ever spent.’
Fergal McDonagh, Kildare.
‘After putting up with a damp smell in our home for way to long, the last straw was to find that our shoes actually turned green and our clothes started to go musty. We then contacted the Dampdoctor team and organised to have an onsite survey. Our surveyor was full of information and explained everything to us in great detail. Having gone with the recommended solutions the damp-musty smell lifted very quickly and we have no more green shoes or musty clothes. I must say that the entire team from Dampdoctor were a truly a pleasure to deal with and highly professional from beginning to end and I would highly recommend them’
Melanie Shore, Dublin.
“We called Damp Doctor as we had significant mold growth on the ceiling of our en suite bathroom. Damp Doctor were extremely knowledgeable and professional to deal with. They provided an excellent service, first installing a new high capacity extractor fan and one week later completely removing the mould from the bathroom. We have no hesitation in recommending Damp Doctor.”
Christian Klinkenberg, Ranelagh, Dublin.
