Termite Inspection

A termite or pest inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure of a home, from the roof to the foundation to find evidence of temite infestation. We recommend having a termite inspection once a year to check for active leaks that may lead to dry rot and termite infestation and to check for potential problems that may lead to deterioration of the structure of your home,  such as water intrusion.  Finding and correcting problems quickly can save you thousands of dollars.

What does it include?
A pest inspector will examine the exterior and interior of the home, and the attic and crawlspaces for evidence of water damage and both subterranean and dry wood termite activity.

Why do I need a pest inspection?

Whether you are a homeowner, or are purchasing another home, having a pest inspection done can tell you a lot about the condition of the home.   Termites are natures way of clearing dead wood and because much of Silicon Valley was originally apricot, cherry and other orchards, termite activity is very common in the majority of homes in the area.

Even if your home does not have active termite infestation, there are still other aspects of the inspection that can help you maintain your home.  Finding excessive moisture conditions, and any other maintenance items that you should keep an eye on before they become a problem is a prudent homeownership practice.  Just like you would go to the dentist or doctor for a check up, so should you give your home a pest inspection check up once a year.

If you are planning to sell your home, you may wish to have an inspection prior to placing your home on the market. This will give you a better understanding of conditions which may be discovered by the buyer's inspector, and an opportunity to make repairs that will put the house in better selling condition.
