Unveiling the Silent Invaders: Expert Termite Inspections for Peace of MindWhat is a Termite Inspection?
A termite inspection is a fundamental process in safeguarding the structural integrity of your home. Termites, often referred to as “silent invaders,” can cause significant damage before their effects become apparent. This specialized service aims to identify, prevent, and treat any signs of infestation, ensuring the ongoing protection of your property.
What Does a Termite Inspection Involve?
During a termite inspection, our experts conduct a thorough assessment of your property. This includes searching for visible signs of termites, such as mud tubes, discarded wings, and wood damage. We employ advanced technology and proven methods to detect any underground or structural activity in your home.
The Importance of WDO (Wood-Destroying Organism) Inspection
A termite inspection often combines with a Wood-Destroying Organism (WDO) inspection. This extended assessment addresses not only termites but also other agents that can damage wood, such as fungi, wood borers, and more. The WDO inspection provides a comprehensive view of the structural health of your property.
