Let’s say you were about to go for a drive but one of your tires was bald to the point where it might pop while you are on the road. Would you want your neighbor to point that out to you or would your rather they stay quiet? Most people would like to know if a serious problem might occur. This is the case with termites. The only issue is that many individuals do not know how serious termite problems can be and how hard these insects are to identify. If you don’t want these wood-destroying pests chewing through your home’s equity, you are in the right place. Today we will be talking about termite inspections and the benefits they could have for your Summerville home and property.
How Often Should You Have A Termite Inspection?
Termites will not destroy your home in a week. They won’t even cause extensive damage within a month. Most types of termites take several months if not years to cause serious damage. Keeping this in mind, it is important to understand that termites are silent destroyers. If you aren’t having your home regularly inspected, you will probably miss these pests. For this reason, we recommend having your home and property professionally inspected for termites at least once a year. If you would like even more reassurances that termites are not damaging your equity, there are additional options available which we will talk about in a bit.
Why Annual Termite Inspections Are Worth It
Some problems are easier to address than others. Termite damage is one of the hardest and most costly problems to address. These invasive pests do not just chew through structural wood, hollowing it out over time, they can also spread moisture damage indoors, making wood swell. Unless you are looking to have entire floors, walls, ceilings, beams, frames, etc replaced, you should be avoiding termite damage at all costs. This is where annual termite inspections come into play. By having your home inspected once a year, you gain the upper hand on destructive termites. If an infestation is caught early, only minimal repairs will be required, costing you a few hundred dollars rather than thousands.
What Happens During A Termite Inspection?
The reason we recommend professional termite inspections is because termites are among the most difficult pests to identify.
