Introduction to Termite Inspections

Termite infestations can cause significant damage to your property, often without immediate detection. At Turnkey Home Inspection, we specialize in thorough termite inspections that are designed to safeguard your home from these silent destroyers. Termites are notorious for their ability to chew through wood and other building materials, leading to structural issues that can be expensive to repair. Our dedicated team of experts understands the importance of early detection and prevention, offering comprehensive termite inspections to ensure the long-term health and stability of your property.

The Importance of Regular Termite Inspections

Regular termite inspections are essential for any homeowner, as they help identify termite activity before it becomes a full-blown infestation. Our experienced inspectors employ advanced techniques and tools to assess your property’s vulnerability to termite attacks. We meticulously examine both the interior and exterior of your home, inspecting key areas such as crawl spaces, basements, attics, and wooden structures. By detecting early signs of termite presence, we empower you to take proactive measures to protect your investment and prevent extensive damage.

Our Comprehensive Termite Inspection Process

Our skilled inspectors meticulously examine all accessible areas, looking for evidence of termite activity, including mud tubes, discarded wings, and wood damage. If termite presence is confirmed, we provide you with a detailed report outlining the extent of the infestation and recommend an appropriate course of action. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and tools needed to make informed decisions about termite control and prevention, ensuring the longevity of your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Buying or selling a home can be a stressful experience, but we’re here to ensure you know what to expect during your home inspection.

A home inspection includes checking for any structural issues such as foundation cracks, roof leaks, plumbing issues, electrical wiring, heating/cooling systems, insulation, windows, doors, chimneys, etc. Depending on how big the property is, a home inspection typically takes 2-3 hours.

Ensure all inspection points are free from clutter, including any closets that might lead to a crawlspace or attic, and clearing some space around your home’s perimeter. It’s also important to check the functionality of all built-in appliances, electric, and gas. If you don’t plan to attend the inspection, make sure your inspector has access to the home, and all pets are properly contained or moved.

A home doesn’t pass or fail an inspection. Instead, a home inspection is a thorough audit of your home’s components. In most cases, there will be concerns marked on your home inspection report, but these are strictly informative.

While you can legally skip a home inspection in many cases, doing so could mean  you may end up buying a home that has major issues that need to be fixed.

 

While a home inspector may recommend some minor repairs, they are not qualified to make major repairs. He or she can provide information about what needs to be repaired — and it might be helpful to know that information — but the decision to actually do the work lies solely with the homeowner. Not only does this give you the freedom to choose your contractors, but it also helps prevent a conflict of interest.

A home inspection can affect appraisals for two reasons: 1) The inspector may find something wrong with the property that would lower the value of the home, 2) The inspector may find things that need repair which could increase the value of the home. If the inspection finds issues that require repairs, then the seller has to decide whether they want to fix them themselves, or hire someone else to do it. If the buyer wants to purchase the home, he/she must be willing to pay for those repairs.
