With property values continuing to rise, it is more imperative than ever for a homebuyer to know what he or she is purchasing.
Older homes can run an increasing risk of termite infestation.
Even newly constructed homes can have carpenter ant infestations, plumbing leaks, or other conducive conditions that can lead to premature problems. At a minimum, most mortgage lenders and real estate appraisers will call for a pest and dry rot inspection prior to the sale of a home. The purpose for this is to ensure that the lender's investment in the property is a sound one. Our inspections and reports are comprehensive and acceptable for all forms of financing from conventional bank loans to government-insured loans and other forms of specialty financing. On the other hand, perhaps you are selling your home.
