Termites are known to cause extensive damage to homes and buildings and can go undetected for long periods of time. A regular termite inspection can help to identify an infestation early on, before significant damage has occurred. This not only helps to protect your property from damage but can also save you money on costly repairs. Additionally, termite inspections are often required when buying or selling a property and can help to ensure that you are aware of any potential issues before closing the deal.
The Inspection Process
Subterranean termites create these narrow passageways made of wood and soil to connect their nests to the wood they feed on, protect themselves from predators, and retain moisture.
Termites can weaken structural joints and leave a rippled or crushed effect. Inspectors may use a screwdriver to expose any tunnels, which are typically parallel to the grain of the wood in subterranean termites.
During warm weather, subterranean termites may swarm to establish new colonies and leave discarded wings in piles.
Termites excrete small, granular pellets that may be found near baseboards, door frames, and windowsills.
Termites can cause paint to bubble or peel, as they damage drywall and allow moisture and air to enter.
These are difficult to spot, but reproductives have wings and a creamy white appearance. They can be distinguished from flying ants by their equal-length wings, thicker bodies, and straight antennae.
In addition to inspecting the garage, attic, and crawl space, inspectors will also evaluate outdoor wooden structures, wood fences, cracks in expansion joints and brickwork, and areas of dead or stored wood.
