Termite Damage Repair for Homes, Businesses & Historic Buildings

Cajun Home Services was brought in to help coordinate termite and structural investigation work for a historic commercial building in New Orleans. The property included older timber framing, masonry bearing walls, roof trusses, rafters, beams, roof decking, concealed cavities, stairs, and multiple roof areas with different framing conditions.

Because major repair work was being considered, the owner needed a clearer understanding of the condition of the framing below finished surfaces and roof areas. We helped document accessible conditions, organize findings, and build a practical repair path for review by the owner and required professionals.

The investigation identified conditions commonly found in older buildings affected by termites and moisture, including damaged timber members, split beam pockets, deteriorated bearing points, concealed wall framing damage, stair damage, roof framing deflection, and members requiring reinforcement or replacement.

Repair planning included concepts such as sistering damaged joists and beams, reinforcing roof framing, repairing masonry beam pockets, strengthening damaged bearing areas, replacing concealed damaged framing, and coordinating moisture-related repairs with the broader structural scope.

This project demonstrates Cajun Home Services' ability to manage complex termite damage repair planning in older, historic, and commercial New Orleans buildings where framing, masonry, moisture, and pest-related damage must be reviewed together.
