Q&A
What causes fence post rot in Lafayette's climate?
The main cause is moisture. In Lafayette, our heavy rain and high humidity keep soil damp for long periods. When wooden fence posts are set directly in concrete without proper drainage, moisture wicks up into the wood and never dries out, leading to rot. At La Construction, we prevent this by using pressure-treated lumber, gravel drainage at the base, and post sleeves that keep wood dry.
How can I tell if termites have damaged my fence or home?
Look for mud tubes on fence posts or foundation walls, hollow-sounding wood when tapped, and small piles of sawdust near baseboards or wooden structures. In Lafayette, termites are active year-round. If you spot these signs, call us immediately. We can assess the damage and replace rotted sections with treated wood or steel posts that resist termites.
Can insulation help protect my home from moisture and pests?
Yes, properly installed insulation reduces humidity inside your attic and walls by controlling temperature and airflow. In Lafayette, that means less condensation inside your home, which discourages mold and wood-destroying insects. La Construction uses vapor barriers and closed-cell spray foam to seal gaps, making it harder for termites and moisture to enter your living spaces.
