Preparing for a termite inspection.....
While it is called a "Termite Inspection" it is officially a "Structural Pest Control Inspection."
In addition to termites, the inspector will also be looking for fungus and water damage and for conditions such as plumbing leaks or earth to wood contact that can lead to termite or fungus damage.
For a complete inspection, there are a few things you can do to prepare for the inspector:
Remove any storage from the areas under sinks in the kitchens & bathrooms.
Remove any storage from the area within two feet of the exterior of the house
Remove any storage in the interior of the garage two feet away from the wall.
Trim back any bushes or ground cover that conceals the walls or foundation.
If your home is built on a raised foundation, the inspector will go under the house. Be sure the access opening to the subarea is not blocked by storage.
Please call (916) 338-4700 if you have any questions.
