Termite and Wood-destroying Insect Inspection
Subterranean termites cause millions of dollars of damamge each year. Worker termites are only 1/4" long. A nest can consist of up to one million members and feed on anything made of wood within a 1/4 acre of the nest.

Carpenter ants are 1/4 to 1/2" in size and prefer damp wood as their nesting site. They chew out galleries in the wood thereby weakening and damaging the wood. A colony can consist of anywhere from several thousand to fifteen thousand workers.

If wood-destroying insect damage is found at the time of inspection, the Seller usually pays for the cost of eradicating the infestation. Be sure to include a Wood-destroying Insect Inspection with your structural evaluation.

Water Sampling
If you have well water, your lender will require a Potability/Bacteria exam. This is only the bare minimum analysis. You should also consider lab analysis for the Chemical and Physical characteristics of the water. This allows the lab to do a comparative analysis for Odor, Color, Iron, and Manganese.

Other worthwhile tests include Lead in Water in Pipes. Lead in Pipes results from the high lead content of solder that was used extensively prior to 1980.

If you have a well and are concerned to about wether it has sufficient capacity to avoid running dry, we offer Well Performance and Yield testing as well. Like all tests, the Well Water Performance Test should be scheduled to take place at the same time as the structural inspection.

Lead-paint and Asbestos Assessments
Lead Paint and Asbestos Assessment services are available by licensed inspectors. Lead paint is especially dangerous to children under six years of age and loose asbestos fibers are dangerous to anyone exposed.

Lead was used in paint prior to 1978. Asbestos is still used in many building products. Our Lead Paint and Asbestos Hazard Assessments will tell you which areas are potentially hazardous and what you can do to reduce the risk of injury.
