Termite Inspection Explained

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Pasadena Views Real Estate Team, Inc. BRE# 000872112

If you have your Pasadena home for sale, your real estate agent most likely suggested that you get a Termite Inspection done as soon as possible.  I usually order a termite inspection the first week of all my home listings.

The reason for that is that in Pasadena and surrounding cities, it is customary for the seller to pay for the Termite inspection and perform some of the work identified in the termite report.  More on the type of work that a Pasadena seller is usually responsible for in tomorrow’s post.  Since we live in Southern California, these strange little insects are happily feasting on all the wood that is used in home constructions and controlling termite activity is part of every day life.

My termite company of choice is Del Rio Termite.  I’ve worked with the owner Fernando Del Rio for many years now and have not been disappointed.  Not only is he very reasonable and excellent at what he does, but he is always willing to come out for reinspections and to address any issues that might arise for his customers.

I asked Fernando to explain to us what he usually does during a termite inspection.  Below, you will find a very short (less than 2 minutes) video as well as my transcription of the process.

What are the steps of a termite inspection?

Irina: Thanks for posting this. Since I totally trust your judgment, I'm going to call Fernando to inspect my Highland Park rental property as a part of routine maintenance.
