Combatting Termite Damage in Timber Retaining Walls
At Australian Retaining Walls, we frequently encounter timber sleeper retaining walls that have succumbed to the ravages of termite infestations. Our solution often involves replacing these compromised structures with more resilient concrete retaining walls, ensuring both durability and longevity.
The Pervasive Threat of Termites
Termite damage, commonly referred to as white ant damage, is the leading cause of failure in timber retaining walls. Our extensive experience reveals that a staggering majority, approximately 90%, of the timber walls we've dismantled were compromised by termites. These pests are known for their ability to establish new colonies near timber structures, gradually compromising the wall's structural integrity. Surprisingly, even timber that has undergone anti-termite treatment is not immune to these relentless creatures.
