Why Miami Homes Face Severe Termite Damage

Miami-Dade County has three active termite species: Eastern subterranean termites (Reticulitermes flavipes), drywood termites (Cryptotermes brevis and Incisitermes snyderi), and the highly destructive Formosan subterranean termite (Coptotermes formosanus). Miami is one of a small number of U.S. cities where all three species co-exist and remain active year-round due to the subtropical climate.

The Formosan subterranean termite in particular causes accelerated and severe structural damage. A mature Formosan colony can contain several million workers and consume approximately one pound of wood per day — meaning structural members can be compromised in months rather than years. Miami homes discovered to have Formosan termite infestations often require significant structural repair even when the infestation is caught at a moderate stage.

Drywood termites cause slower but often more pervasive damage because they colonize above-ground wood directly — roof trusses, wall framing, furniture — without needing soil contact. Infestations often go undetected for years, discovered only during a WDO inspection or renovation.

What We Repair

Structural Framing

Replacement of damaged studs, joists, rafters, plates, and headers. We assess structural integrity before and after repair with probe testing.

Roof Decking & Sheathing

Replacement of damaged plywood or OSB roof decking and wall sheathing — common in Miami after drywood termite infestation in attic spaces.

Subfloor & Hardwood

Repair or replacement of subterranean termite-damaged subflooring, floor joists, and hardwood flooring — common where Formosan colonies enter through the foundation.

Window & Door Frames

Replacement of drywood termite-damaged window and door frames — a common entry and colonization point in Miami homes.

Drywall Restoration

Repair of drywall sections damaged by termite galleries or secondary moisture intrusion following termite damage to wall framing.

Exterior Wood & Trim

Replacement of damaged fascia boards, exterior siding, soffits, and decorative trim — treated with borate during reinstallation for added protection.

The Repair Process

1
Damage Assessment

Full property inspection to identify all termite-damaged wood — structural and cosmetic. We use probing, acoustic testing, and moisture measurement to map the extent of damage before any repair quote is issued.

2
Termite Elimination First

Repair always follows confirmed termite elimination. We either perform the elimination ourselves or verify elimination was properly completed by a prior treatment before beginning repair work.

3
Structural Repair

Load-bearing and structural members are repaired or replaced first. For major structural elements, repairs follow engineering assessments to confirm load path integrity.

4
Borate Treatment

All new and exposed wood is treated with borate (TimBor or Bora-Care) during reinstallation to provide ongoing residual protection against future termite colonization.

5
Cosmetic Restoration

Drywall, paint, trim, and finish work are completed to restore the appearance of repaired areas. Our goal is seamless integration with surrounding finishes.

Damage Assessment Checklist

  • Hollow-sounding wood when tapped
  • Wood that crumbles or probes easily
  • Sagging floors or ceilings
  • Doors/windows that stick or warp
  • Visible termite galleries in wood
  • Bubbling or peeling paint (no moisture)
  • Frass (termite droppings) near wood

Termite Damage Repair FAQ — Miami, FL

How do I know if termite damage is structural?

Signs include: hollow-sounding wood when tapped, wood that crumbles when probed, sagging floors or ceilings, doors and windows that no longer operate smoothly, visible galleries inside wood, and paint that bubbles without a moisture source. A licensed inspector uses probing and acoustic testing to assess structural integrity accurately.

Do I need to eliminate termites before repairing the damage?

Yes — always. Repairing wood with active termites present will result in damage to the new wood. Our process: eliminate all termites → verify clearance → then proceed with structural and cosmetic repair. We coordinate both steps so you deal with one contractor.

What types of termite damage can you repair?

We repair structural framing (studs, joists, rafters, sill plates), subflooring and hardwood flooring, roof decking and sheathing, interior trim, window and door frames, drywall, and exterior wood siding and fascia. For major structural repairs requiring a PE stamp, we coordinate with licensed structural engineers.

Does homeowner's insurance cover termite damage in Florida?

Standard Florida homeowner's insurance policies generally do NOT cover termite damage — it's classified as a maintenance issue. The exception may be a sudden structural collapse. We can document damage for insurance purposes if your policy includes relevant coverage.

How much does termite damage repair cost in Miami?

Minor cosmetic repairs may run $300–$800. Moderate structural repairs typically range $1,500–$5,000. Extensive structural repair can run $8,000–$25,000+. We provide detailed written estimates after a full damage assessment. Early detection through annual inspections is far less expensive than major repair.
