ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus to determine whether or not wrapping of submerged timber or wood piling is efficacious in preventing infestation of the submerged timber or wood which includes a self-contained test kit which permits the testing of the wrapping of the submerged timber or wood pilings to determine whether or not infestation from marine microorganisms or marine borers is continuing despite the wrapping. A sample of the alleged stagnate water between the wrapping and the piling is taken for testing for oxygen content, temperature, and ph, without denigrating the integrity of the wrapping.
