Termites can cause major structural damage over time. The benefits of termite inspection performed by an experienced professional can be saved money, saved time, safety and peace of mind for you and your family.
Saved Money
The sooner you know that you have termites the better. It could mean the difference between a few hundred dollars for the inspection and extermination or thousands of dollars in repairs up to the worth of your home.
Saved Time
If you have a wood framed house, termites can destroy part or all of the structural integrity of the home. The time and interruption for extermination and restoration can mean wasted months and years.
Safety
Inspectors can also alert you to any structural damage that might have occurred. Structural damage can make your house unsafe and unfit for occupancy.
Peace of Mind
Especially if you live in an area that is prone to termites it is better to know if you have a termite problem, one way or the other. Stop worrying and take action.
Conclusion
Some websites give guidance for doing termite inspections and treatments yourself. You don't have the experience and training to risk your home, so find and call a professional.
