Termite Inspections

Our professional termite inspections are designed to identify current infestations and conditions that could put your home at risk in the future. During the inspection, we thoroughly examine accessible areas of your property for signs of termites and carpenter ants, including damage, mud tubes, and moisture issues that attract pests. These inspections provide homeowners with clear insight into the health of their property and are especially valuable for real estate transactions, preventative maintenance, and peace of mind. When issues are found early, they can be addressed before leading to costly structural damage.

A termite inspection is a detailed evaluation of your property to check for signs of termites, carpenter ants, and conditions that may attract them, such as excess moisture or wood-to-soil contact.
Why is a termite inspection important?
Termites can cause significant structural damage before they’re visible. An inspection helps identify problems early and prevent costly repairs.

Most homes should be inspected annually. Homes in high-risk areas or with a history of termite activity may benefit from more frequent inspections.
What areas of the home are inspected?
Inspectors examine accessible interior and exterior areas, including foundations, crawl spaces, basements, attics, and areas where wood contacts the ground.
Do I need a termite inspection when buying or selling a home?

Most inspections take between 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the size and layout of the home.
