NO TERMITE INSPECTION NO HOUSE….don’t risk it!

It is becoming increasingly common to see houses being eaten by termites and causing significant damage to a home. More often than not, it’s due to homeowners not having regular inspections or not having a pre-purchase inspection before buying a home. 

There are many risks with buying properties without building and pest inspections from a qualified, licensed and insured professional, but property purchasers continue to ignore the advice. Termites slowly destroy the wooden structures of homes from the inside out.   They are more prevalent in damp areas, in crawl spaces and where wood comes into contact with the ground, but termites can munch away anywhere in a home. 

Just because termites do not seem as though they can cause much damage, if you see one up close, does not mean you should underestimate them. Once you have hundreds or thousands of the pests inside your home, they are a serious issue. Signs of damage often do not show up for months, or even years, and by then you could end up having to pay thousands of dollars for repairs.
