the repair of wooden utility poles damaged

by woodpeckers. Woodpecker holes allow

moisture to penetrate the wood, causing the

pole to rot. If left untreated, poles weaken in

the area of rot, causing structural instability,

potentially resulting in outages and safety

concerns. Damage must be repaired as soon

as possible to halt further decay and save on

costly change outs.

With the proper sealant and application

techniques, repairs can extend pole life and

dramatically reduce replacement costs.

Proper repair is the low-cost alternative.

UPR Pole Repair is specially formulated to

expand in the pole cavity, rather than just

filling it. Because UPR expands in the hole;

it fills irregularly shaped cavities for bet-

ter integration with the wood. This creates

superior wood grain adhesion compared to

other non-expanding products. Polywater

UPR Pole Repair hardens much like wood, so

it is gaffable and won’t chip out in chunks

when climber’s hooks are embedded into its

surface structure.
