Termite tubes and poor support join forces

By
Home Inspector with Meticulous Home Inspection Corporation 16000008857
Home Inspection Syosset. This is improper support, and the termite damage is extensive. Jack posts are NOT lally columns, but many people purchase these posts and don't know that they need footings under them to provide proper support.
Concrete floors are only 4 inches thick, and may be thinner. And cracks in basement floors can foster termite activity which is why we recommend repairs to cracks in concrete floors by licensed professionals.
So don't be ridiculous call Meticulous Home Inspection when you need a professional inspection where the inspector brings a SEPARATE TERMITE COMPANY for the wood destroying insect inspection.
This way, you get TWO SETS OF EYES looking at your foundation. Home Inspectors cannot treat the home, only a termite professional with an applicators license can.

Good morning Ray. There are time the DIY guy can be just as good as a professional. That said, there are times when it pays to hire a professional who will do it right. Enjoy your day.

Good morning Ray,

You definitely need two eyes on a project like this! One an inspector and the other a termite company inspector. This is an issue not to deal with immediately!
