Termite inspections are based off visual evidence that a wood structure has suffered internal or external damage. The inspector will take a thorough look at all areas of the interior and exterior of the home. The inspection will vary based on the location of the home. A termite inspector will review all accessible locations for signs of termite infestation and damage – both past and present.

In addition to identifying activity, your inspector also should indicate areas in or around the home that can be conducive to termite activity. Structural and moisture issues can include standing water on the roof, pooling water around the foundation, wood mulch close to the foundation, and wooden deck supports that touch the soil.
