Being proactive in protecting your utility poles can ensure they are safe for maintenance, as it prevents damage from ever occurring. Timberbond is a useful product to repair end grain splitting, rotting, and deterioration at the top of wood utility poles. It can be easily applied and create a permanent watertight seal while also filling and strengthening any voids or cracks. Utility companies can apply Timberbond to the pole cap before installation to prevent weather-related pole damage.

Just as weather elements can damage wood utility poles, animals and insects can cause even more significant damage.
