Termite Inspection by Zee Home Inspection: Protect Your Home from Silent Destroyers
Termites are often called “silent destroyers” because they can cause severe structural damage to your home without any immediate visible signs. These tiny pests work quietly behind the scenes—eating away at wood, flooring, and even wallpaper—compromising the safety and value of your property. That’s why Zee Home Inspection offers professional and thorough Termite Inspection services designed to detect signs of termite activity early and protect your home from costly damage.
Why Termite Inspections Matter
Termites cause billions of dollars in property damage annually, and most homeowners’ insurance policies do not cover termite damage. By the time you see outward signs like sagging floors or hollow wood, the infestation may already be advanced. A routine termite inspection can uncover early activity, active colonies, or previous damage—allowing for timely intervention and prevention.
Common Signs of Termite Activity
While termites often go undetected, there are a few key warning signs that may indicate their presence:
Mud tubes on walls or foundation
Hollow-sounding wood
Discarded wings near windows or doors
Blistering paint or wallpaper
Frass (termite droppings) that resemble sawdust or coffee grounds
Tight-fitting doors or windows caused by warping
Who Needs a Termite Inspection?
Termite inspections are essential for:
Homebuyers: Ensure the property is free from active termite infestations or damage before purchasing.
Homeowners: Detect infestations early to prevent expensive repairs.
Home sellers: Increase buyer confidence and meet disclosure requirements.
Real estate agents: Offer your clients a comprehensive inspection package that includes wood-destroying organism reports.
