Wood Destroying Insects

Protect Your Home From Insect Damage

When buying a home, you need to know that it is structurally sound. There are various factors that can affect a home’s structure such as water damage as just one example. Another thing that can literally eat away at your home’s structure is wood-destroying insects. Especially if the wood is used for major support beams within the home, these destructive insects can, over time, render it unsafe for your family.

While termites are one of the most common bugs that come to your mind when you think of wood-destroying insects, our trained and certified inspectors also check for carpenter ants, carpenter bees, powder post beetles and any other critters that might be snacking on a house you’re considering buying or looking to sell. Our inspectors have a trained eye for spotting signs of termite activity and that of similarly destructive bugs. Soon after completing our inspection, we provide you with a complete report that will accurately assess any issues your home may face with these types of insects in order to help you decide what to do about it.
