TERMITE INSPECTION:
Termites are insects that eat wood. They live in the ground in a colony and venture out to find a food source. They do not live in the wood they eat and must return to the colony or they will die. Termites need a lot of moisture to survive. They become a problem when they try to consume the wood in a house or garage as food. As they live in the ground, most termite damage is confined to the basement and first floor of a house. It is very rare that termite damage is found on the second floor.
There are several steps a homeowner can do to minimize the chances of termite infestation.
-
As termites need moisture, improved drainage around the foundation will go a long way in prevention.
-
Minimize wood to earth contact. Do not put any wood directly into contact with the dirt. The wood will absorb moisture and give the termites a path to enter the house.
-
Do not store wood outside against the house. Wood piles for fireplaces should be raised above the dirt and stored away from the house.
​
Termites can be very hard to detect as they can be inside of walls, behind cabinets, and in places that a homeowner may never look. At Sure Check Home Inspections, we are licensed by the EPA for termite inspections and include a termite inspection on an FHA form with every inspection.
