Inspection Report
The report contains findings
and recommendations related to the following adverse conditions that may be found in your home:
SUBTERRANEAN
TERMITES usually live underground because they require moisture. They can enter your home through the smallest of
cracks in your homes foundation. They travel through mud tubes to reach food sources (the wood in your home) above ground.
DRYWOOD TERMITES live above ground and are usually hidden inside the wood they infest. Since they
don’t require any contact with the soil they can be found in furniture, window frames, sills, and doors and many other
areas of your home.
FUNGUS/DRY ROT grows on wood that is exposed to moisture. It reduces the strength
of the wood and can be as destructive as termites.
OTHER WOOD PESTS like powderpost beetles, wood
borers, and carpenter ants can also jeopardize the structural integrity of your home.
DAMPWOOD TERMITES
occur most commonly in cool and humid coastal areas.
EARTH TO WOOD CONTACT provides moisture and
promotes the growth of fungus which entices termites to the fungus infected wood.
FAULTY GRADE
levels can lead to excessive moisture conditions which damage the exterior of your home and provide access to termites.
Termites feed on CELLULOSE DEBRIS and turn it into organic matter. Wood or paper under a foundation
or in other accessible areas is a invitation to termites.
Heavy rains, serious plumbing leaks, broken pipes
and poor ventilation in crawl spaces all contribute to EXCESSIVE
MOISTURE CONDITIONS and attract termites
and fungus. Termites also infest INACCESSIBLE AREAS of your home. A qualified Antimite inspector can identify
these areas for treatment.
