In-Ground Wood Pole Treatment
All Services
Protect Your Poles. Preserve Your Investment.
Wooden utility poles are under constant attack from moisture, insects, and ground rot—especially below the surface where damage often goes unnoticed. At Tomberlin, we provide in-ground wood pole treatment services that are proven to extend the life of your poles and prevent early failure.
Our treatments are ideal for electric cooperatives and utilities looking to maintain aging infrastructure, avoid costly replacements, and keep their systems resilient for years to come.
What’s Included in Our Treatment Process
- Surface Rot Removal - Before treatment, we remove any visible decay and strip away compromised wood to expose a clean base.
- Targeted Chemical Application - We apply a specialized pesticide-grade preservative directly to the below-ground area of each pole. This penetrates deep into the wood fibers to eliminate insect threats and halt rot progression.
- Deep Protection Where It Matters Most - Our proprietary method ensures the chemical moves through the pole effectively—offering protection where decay happens most: underground.
Why It’s Worth It
Replacing utility poles is expensive. Our treatment process offers a cost-effective alternative that helps:
Extend the usable life of each pole by years
Prevent insect and fungal damage below the surface
Improve system reliability during storms or high-demand seasons
Save on labor and replacement costs over time
When combined with our pole inspection services, treatment becomes part of a complete utility asset management strategy.
