Home Inspections Winthrop | Home Inspector (507) 721-0818
Termites are relentless pests and if left untreated, termites can cause severe structural damage to your home. It is critical for homeowners to get a termite inspection every year, especially if you have seen evidence of termites or experienced an infestation in the past. When conducting an inspection, the inspector will look for evidence of all types of pests, not just termites.
Some common signs of termite activity that the inspector will be looking for are:
- Subterranean termite mud tubes on a wall
- Visual damage to wood inside and outside of the home and wings on windowsills
- Look for possible entry points to detect the home base of the termite activity
- Special attention is given to areas where conditions are conducive to termites such as sources of moisture, cracks in foundation and other known harborage or nesting areas
Termite infestations can be difficult to catch without a full inspection so it is wise to have your home inspected for termite damage every year. This ensures that a termite problem can be found before the damage gets out of hand. If at any time you believe that your home or business has a termite problem, call us to schedule a termite inspection!
