Termite Inspection

Termite Inspections

Protect Your Property, and Your Investment

Termites cause more than $5 billion in property damage in the U.S. each year. If left unchecked, they can silently chew through the structural stability of a home, eating away at wood, flooring and even wallpaper. To make matters worse, the damage they leave behind is not typically covered by most homeowners’ insurance policies. 

Spring is prime time for termite populations as they emerge in search of new structures to invade. Termite explorers, referred to as swarmers, will look for hospitable homes, and are particularly attracted to structures that may have sustained damage from severe winter weather or have dead or decaying wood on the property. Once these swarmers have determined a home to be a good fit, it’s likely that they will settle in and begin a new colony, growing into a full-blown termite infestation over time.

Signs of Infestation

Mud tubes — Subterranean termites, the most destructive termite species, build mud tubes to provide moisture while they travel between their colony and food source. Mud tubes are most often found near the home’s foundation.


Wood damage — Termites tend to eat wood from the inside out, so wood that sounds hollow when tapped often signifies a termite infestation. Homeowners should also look for blistering pieces of wood.


Frass — Drywood termites produce wood-colored droppings as they eat through infested wood. If a homeowner finds a small pile of what looks like pellets inside or outside the home, it could be a sign of a drywood termite infestation.


It’s a good rule of thumb to have your home inspected for termites once every two to three years, and every year if you live in the south or in warmer climates. If termites are suspected, a pest control professional will be needed to eliminate the problem.

Fast, Reliable Inspections

Inspecting for termites can be added to any inspection for only $100. We work with a team of termite experts to locate any possible infestation, and note our findings on your report.

Our residential inspections usually take between 2-3 hours, and we work to quickly get the full inspection report to you within 24 hours of the inspection. There’s no waiting, no wondering — just the information you need within a day.
Think fast means rushed? It doesn’t! We’ll thoroughly inspect every aspect of the home, from the roof, the exterior, and the interior of the home to the systems you rely on — like heat & AC, plumbing, and electric. From leaks under sinks to loose fixtures and unfinished work, we’ll make sure every issue is pinpointed before your builder’s warranty is up. Thorough? Check. Fast? Check. Professional? Guaranteed.

If the property you are buying or selling has a pool, then a pool inspection should be scheduled along with the residential inspection.
