Why a Termite Inspection Matters
As you begin the purchase process of your new home, you want to make sure you know what you’re getting. The structure of a home can be vulnerable to damage due to excess moisture and the bugs it attracts, such as termites. Along with other inspections, a termite inspection report can help you understand the exact condition of the home before you buy it.
A termite inspection report is a thorough inspection and an accompanying detailed report of findings done by a registered pest control company. Our accredited and professional termite inspection partners will perform a thorough inspection of your home, looking for fungi, excess moisture, or any insects such as termites, carpenter bees, or carpenter ants, among others that could be causing damage to the structure of the home. The termite inspection report I give you will be a detailed report of all of the findings, including active and inactive infestations, as well as any resulting damage.
Termites will cause substantial damage to your home if left unchecked. They feast on a variety of wood sources, including structural timbers and hardwood flooring. Termites usually work from the inside out. Being vigilant about termite prevention and abatement is paramount, because as soon as a homeowner is able to notice minor damage, considerable damage has most likely already occurred. Our professionals inspect your home for potential termite entry points. These areas are found in foundation cracks, roof vents, or areas of your home with inadequate ground clearance. Once termites find their way in, they don’t just visit and leave, no, they make your home their home.
Termites are constantly on the move looking for something to feed on. Don’t let it be your largest investment! Outside of many loans requiring a termite inspection, it’s simply just a good idea to have one done as the damage they can do can get quite expensive.
What is a termite bond and why is it important? A termite bond is like a maintenance contract between you and a termite company that provide treatment and control if termites are found. It’s definitely a best practice to get a termite bond to ensure your home is covered long term.
