Do you need a termite inspection report for the sale or refinance of your home? Look no further than Truly Nolen of Charleston! We proudly provide these inspections, commonly called wood destroying infestation inspection reports, for homeowners and realtors throughout the region.
Is there a cost for the termite inspection report?
Yes, there is a cost for a termite inspection report. These reports differ from our normal termite inspection due to the formal paperwork required by both the State of South Carolina and your lender. Pricing varies depending on the location, size, and structure of the home. Please contact our office today for more information.
Where will the inspector be looking on my home's interior?
The inspector will begin at the front door, thoroughly checking every room for evidence of infestation and/or damage. The inspector will check doorframes, gently probing suspicious areas to see if wood has become hollow. He will then check wall surfaces, ceilings, floors, baseboards, and wood trim for slightly raised areas in paint or under wallpaper. Any raised point many indicate termite activity. He will also check for exit holes and dropped wings on door frames and window sills. The inspector will then examine cracks in cabinets as well as interior door and window frames.
The inspector will also check the attic of the home for damage. He will examine the roof rafters that support the roof sheathing, which is the roofing surface visible from inside the attic; ridge pole, which is the top wood member to which the rafters are attached; joists to which the ceiling is attached; and top plates of all interior partitions to which all wall studs are attached.
Additionally, if present and accessible, the inspector will check the crawl space under your home and determine if there is damage to wood beams, floor joists, foundation walls and piers, pipes and fireplace foundation. The inspector will be looking at any wood structure or any wood debris found outside your home.
Where will the inspector be looking on my home's exterior?
After inspecting the interior of a home, the inspector will move to the exterior. The inspector will begin by walking the perimeter of the structure as close to the foundation as possible. He will look for wood-to-earth points of contact, such as siding and veneer.
He will then examine wooden structures, such as fences or stored lumber, look for mud tubes running up the exterior of the foundation wall, observe drainage patterns, examine wooden structures such as siding, windows and frames, and check the eaves of your house especially where the gutters and downspouts are attached.
