Termite Inspection

Termite Facts

A typical homeowner’s insurance policy does not cover destruction caused by termites, even though they cause over 1 billion dollars in damage to homes throughout the United States each year. It’s important that homeowners understand the threat of termites, and take the necessary steps to protect their homes.

Subterranean termites are extremely destructive. First they build tunnels to wooden structures, and then they burrow into those structures to obtain food. Any wood or cellulose-containing material constitutes termite food, and given time to do so, they’ll eat until nothing is left but a shell. Termites avoid light and air, so they build their colonies where you’re not likely to stumble upon them.

On the off chance you do see them, remember that it’s easy to confuse termites with ants. Fortunately, there are features that distinguish them.

Ants

narrow waists
bent antennae
two sets of wings (one wing is longer than the other)

Termites

thick waists
straight antennae
two sets of wings (same size)

Home Quest was recommended by out agent. We are from out of state and have been doing much of the home buying process remotely. Home Quest was easy to work with and provided a very detailed and comprehensive inspection. They worked with us, our family, and our agent to get the job done! We would definitely recommend to others.
