Replace or repair damaged wooden utilities poles?

Doug Reeves
Wooden utilities poles are highly susceptible to the elements. Woodpeckers, termites, moisture and sun exposure can all play havoc with them over time. The question all utility companies face eventually is “should we replace these poles or repair them?”

The answer to that question is always a matter of how far gone the poles are. If you inspect one of your poles and find a number of fist-sized holes left by woodpeckers, it would be quite understandable to simply dig the pole out and replace it with a new one. However, that is costly and time consuming and not necessary if you have the right restorative product.
