Spot Wood Damage Before It Spreads

You're preparing to sell your home in Pilesgrove, and your buyer's lender requires a termite inspection before approving the mortgage. You haven't seen any visible signs of damage, but termites and other wood-destroying insects can work inside walls, floor joists, and crawl spaces for years without obvious symptoms. A licensed inspection identifies activity and damage so you can address it before closing or provide documentation that the property is clear.

The inspection covers accessible areas where termites and carpenter ants typically enter and feed, including basements, crawl spaces, attics, and exterior wood-to-soil contact points.

Inspections catch damage before buyers walk away

The inspection begins with a visual assessment of accessible areas in your home in Pilesgrove, focusing on wood members in contact with soil, moisture-prone zones like basements and crawl spaces, and areas where prior damage or repairs are visible. The inspector looks for mud tubes, frass, hollow-sounding wood, and other signs that indicate active or past infestations. The process typically takes between 45 minutes and an hour depending on property size and access.

After the inspection, you'll receive a written report that documents findings and indicates whether treatment or further evaluation is needed. If termites or other wood-destroying insects are present, the report specifies the type of damage, location, and severity. If the property is clear, the documentation satisfies lender and buyer requirements and supports a smooth closing process.

The inspection does not include treatment or repair services, but it does provide the compliance documentation required for many mortgages and real estate transactions in New Jersey. It's most effective when performed before listing a property or during the buyer's due diligence period. Sellers who address findings early avoid delays and renegotiations later in the process.
