Structural Pest Inspection

A structural pest inspection is a visual evaluation of a property’s accessible areas for evidence of wood-destroying organisms and conditions that may contribute to infestation or damage. This inspection may identify signs of termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, wood-decay fungi, and moisture-related conditions that can affect the integrity of structural components.
The purpose of the inspection is to identify visible evidence of current or past pest activity, damage, and conducive conditions so property owners and buyers can make informed decisions regarding further evaluation, treatment, or repairs.

Limitations

A structural pest inspection is a non-invasive, visual inspection and is limited to readily accessible areas at the time of the inspection. Inspectors do not dismantle building materials, move furniture or stored items, remove finishes, or perform destructive testing to uncover concealed damage or hidden infestations. The inspection cannot guarantee the absence of pests, damage, or conditions that may exist within walls, beneath flooring, above ceilings, underground, or in other inaccessible areas. Findings are based solely on conditions observed on the day of the inspection.

The Structural Pest Inspection report is not triggered unless evidence of structural pests is found. There is not additional cost for this report when triggered.
