Inspection for the presence of termites in many cases can be difficult. Even though termites are made up of numerous individuals, they are quite secretive and spend most of their time either in the soil or inside wood. Hiring a inspect inspector will be able to help prevent and catch invasion before it gets too far.
When the inspector comes to the home for the inspection they will look for the following issues:
The inspector will examine the foundation wall at the soil line, cracks in concrete floors and places where pipes and ducts come up through the concrete slab for tubes where termites could enter. They will look for indicators like a mud tube on the outside stem wall and termite galleries of both dry-wood and subterranean termites infesting interior wood. They will look to determine all the entry points and the type of termites by collecting live ones for identification. If there is presence of infestation the inspector will recommend you to pest control service to help eliminate any infestation.
