So What Are We Looking For?
Good question! We’re looking for termite damage, conducive conditions, and evidence of past termite treatments. In addition, we are looking for evidence of carpenter ant activity.
What Happens If We Find Termites or Evidence of Past Treatments?
Nothing necessarily. Past termite termite treatments are ok, and old termite activity is usually ok. If evidence of current termite or carpenter ant infestation is found, your inspector will explain what was found, and give you advice (and a quote, if you like) on how to treat it. On your report, we will note what we see and your lender will decide what must be done (if anything). We may suggest that you correct conducive conditions such as wood piles, direct wood-to-soil contact, and leaky plumbing. Termite inspections uncover evidence of current termite and carpenter ant activity approximately 2% of the time.
