Termite Inspections For Homeowners 

The insidious nature of termites is that they are a silent invader. These homewreckers can infest a home for years without detection. A termite colony evaded the watchful eye of White House security for years, until swarmers started showing up inside the West Wing, only yards from the Oval Office. If they can evade White House staff, you can believe they have the ability to avoid detection from a homeowner. That is why it is important to get a certified termite inspection, even if the seller says they've never had trouble with termites. 

"No problem, I have a certified home inspector."

The truth about certified home inspectors is that they do not have the knowledge or experience to conduct this kind of inspection. Even if they have state certification to purchase termite products and perform termite control, and claim that they are the "total package," they don't have the ability to guarantee their inspection is sound. With termites, you can't afford to take that risk.

Termite Inspections For Home Sellers

If you're looking to sell your home, there is a chance the lending agency for your buyer is going to require a certified termite inspection. If they find termites before you do, you could be left holding the bill. 

When you do a pre-emptive inspection for termites, you have control. You'll be able to take care of those termites before you find a buyer, and put the costs for treatment into your asking price for the home.

When your buyer finds termites, that may be the end of the sale--and any future sales, if word gets around that your home has termite damage. Even if the sale moves forward and the buyer is committed, you'll still be left covering all the costs.

Termite Inspections For Homeowners

If you own a home in New York state, it is wise to have ongoing termite protection. But at the very least, be sure to put routine termite inspections into your budget. Once termites have a chance to eat away at your support beams and load-bearing walls, the structure of your home may be warped beyond repair.
