After finding the perfect house, the last thing you want to find is an insect infestation of any kind – especially termites. Termites are highly invasive, destructive, and can be difficult to detect without the proper training. Today we have some warning signs and reasons you should always hire a professional to perform a termite inspection in Orange County before purchasing any kind of property.
Below are some termite warning signs and compelling reasons to have your potential property inspected for a dreaded termite infestation from The Elite Group Property Inspections, Inc. – the name to trust for termite inspection in Orange County .
Signs of Termites
Like most household intruders, some termites leave behind telltale signs of their presence. Here’s a quick look at just a few. Unfortunately, before purchasing a property, some homeowners neglect having a termite inspection performed or outright overlook these termite calling cards until it’s too late and a great deal of damage has already been done.
• Swarms : If you see swarming termites near your property in early spring, chances are they’re actively establishing new colonies and may be looking to set up shop in your home
• Shelter Tubes : If you see tubes made of mud (a shelter for termites) around your property, break a piece off – if you check back and it’s been rebuilt, termites are afoot
• Rotting Wood : If you notice rotting wood around your home’s exterior, pull back a piece and see if there are termites congregating within
Avoid Future Problems
Take note of these termite warning signs for the next time you’re doing your initial walkthrough of a potential home or rental property to avoid headaches and save money in the future. A great deal of termite activity goes on underground, and by the time you start noticing termite damage on the surface, the integrity of your home may be in serious jeopardy. Repairing structural damage can be extremely expensive, so having a termite inspection performed before ever signing on the dotted line can save you from a significant amount of hassle in the future.
Peace of Mind
It’s important to always check for termites when considering buying a home – especially in areas like Orange County. Knowing that a certified professional inspector has given your potential property a thorough investigation with state-of-the-art equipment and years of experience will provide you with peace of mind. No one wants to see a dream home turn to a pile of sawdust.
