Whether you’re moving into a new home or suspect you have pests in your existing one, a termite inspection is key to protecting the structural integrity of your home.
When Do You Need a Termite Inspection?
A termite inspection should be performed anytime you are considering a new home purchase, at least once per year, and anytime you see signs of possible termite damage. If you see signs of an existing termite infestation, like wood with holes in it, termite droppings, bubbling paint, broken termite wings, or live termites themselves, then you should contact an inspector immediately.
Why Is It Important?
Termites eat wood, and if that wood is found in the supporting beams of your home, termites can cause serious damage to the structural integrity of your residence. Having regular termite inspections can help you find any termite presence before significant damage has occurred, saving you on expensive repairs and protecting your home investment.
How Does It Work?
If you’re ready to have your home inspected for termites, then it’s time to call in professional help. A qualified inspector from Precision Home Inspection will inspect your attic, crawl space, and exterior foundation for signs of termite damage. If you have any wood in your outdoor area near your home, like a pile of firewood, a fence, or a mulch pile, you should also mention this to your inspector, as these are other places where termites may gather.
If the inspection reveals the presence of termites, don’t worry. Your inspector will help you form a plan of action and walk you through the next steps of termite removal.
