TERMITE INSPECTION PREP STEPS
Garage
Move anything that is against the walls, leaving at least two to three feet of space for the termite inspector to have a clear view of where the walls meet the garage floor.
Crawl space foundation
Your inspector will have to crawl around your crawl space. Clear the way; move any items that would prevent easy access, and make sure that nothing in the crawl space will keep the inspector from seeing the walls, ceiling, piers, etc. Nothing should be stored in the crawl space.
Slab foundation
Clear out any items that are under your sinks in the kitchen and bathroom. This is important because the termite inspector will need to check your water sources. Termites need moisture to survive, so they are drawn to any area with high moisture levels. The accessible baseboards throughout the 1st main floor will also be inspected.
Outdoor Landscaping
Take a critical look at your landscaping in advance of the inspection. Cut back any plants that might keep the inspector from getting a good look at your home’s foundation.
A little time prepping for your termite inspection will yield a big result: a termite inspection you can trust.
