Termite Inspection
What is Termite Inspection?
The best preventative measure is a termite inspection. Wood destroying insects can significantly damage the structural integrity of a home.
We provide a comprehensive wood destroying inspection (WDI).
A WDI includes all types of WDI including termites, carpenter ants, powder post beetles, and carpenter bees.
Termites can cause serious, lasting damage to your home. If you think you may have a termite problem, you should get a termite inspection from Home Inspector.
How to Prevent Termites
- After construction, keep the soil around the foundation dry through proper grading and drainage (including maintenance of gutters and downspouts).
- Reduce openings that offer termites’ access to the structure (filling cracks in cement foundations as well as around where utilities pass through the wall with cement, grout, or caulk).
- Fix leaks immediately.
- Keep vents free from blockage, including plants.
- Ensure that trees and shrubs are not planted too close to the structure and do not allow them to grow against exposed wood surfaces.
- Do not pile or store firewood or wood debris next to the house.
- Inspect periodically to help ensure that termite colonies do not become established.
