What to Expect During a Termite Inspection
Concerned about termites? Looking for peace of mind? Hunt Pest Service provides FREE termite inspections designed to thoroughly evaluate your home, identify concerns, and help protect one of your biggest investments.
Have you seen something concerning around your home and wondered if it could be termite activity? Or are you simply looking for peace of mind from a professional inspection? Both are excellent reasons to schedule a termite inspection.
At Hunt Pest Service, our termite inspections are completely free. We take the time to carefully inspect every structure because no two homes are alike. We believe in attention to detail and never rush the inspection process.
Moisture problems are one of the most common conditions we find during termite inspections. Excess moisture can create an environment that attracts termites and other wood-destroying organisms.
What We Look For During a Termite Inspection
During your inspection, we look for signs of active termite activity, previous termite damage, conditions that may attract termites, excessive moisture, wood-to-soil contact, and other issues that could put your property at risk.
Access to Key Areas of the Home
Crawl Spaces
If your home has a crawl space, we will need access to perform a thorough inspection. Crawl spaces are one of the most important areas to inspect because termites often enter structures from below the home.
Basements
If your home has a basement, we will inspect the walls, foundation, and surrounding areas. Removing clutter and stored items from walls allows us to complete a more thorough inspection.
Slab Homes
For homes built on a slab foundation, we inspect interior and exterior walls as well as other accessible areas where termites may be active.
Attached Garages
Attached garages and adjoining walls are also inspected, as termites can enter structures through these areas.
Stored wood, cardboard boxes, paper products, and other cellulose materials sitting directly on the soil can create ideal conditions for termite activity.
Common Conditions We Find
Some of the most common conditions we encounter include:
- Wood-to-soil contact
- Stored firewood beneath the home
- Cardboard boxes and paper products in crawl spaces
- High crawl space moisture levels
- Poor ventilation
- Water leaks and drainage concerns
- Areas of previous termite activity
How Long Does a Termite Inspection Take?
A termite inspection takes as long as it needs to take. Every structure is unique, and we inspect each property carefully. Our goal is to provide a thorough inspection, identify any concerns, and answer your questions along the way.
