What Is a Termite Inspection for a Home Purchase?

Regardless of when you buy a house in Glenside, a termite inspection is a requirement if you plan to get a loan. This report, called Form NPMA-33, must be completed by a local pest control company, particularly by wood-destroying insect inspectors experienced with Glenside homes. This documents on whether any wood-destroying insects are present in the home. Our goal is to:

• Determine if there is any visible evidence of wood-destroying insects present;

• Determine if there are any signs of previous treatment for termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees or powderpost beetles;

• Inspect the structure itself (business or home) as well as any areas attached to it such as basements, crawl spaces, and porches;

• Determine if and where any dead insects or insect damage are located, particularly any mud tubes or shelter tubes, exit holes, or any staining;

• Provide only a visual inspection of the damage. Inspectors are not responsible for evaluating the degree of damage, including if the damage is structural or just aesthetic. A structural professional should be contacted by the home buyer when there is evidence of damage.

It’s not necessary for an inspector to discover live insects to recommend a treatment. Rather, the inspector will use his or her experience as well as, knowledge to determine if there is a reason to believe these pests are present, including what amount of treatment may have been used in the past. In addition, lenders, realtors, buyers, and sellers serving the Glenside area may turn to our inspectors for guidance on what, if anything, can be done to treat for termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees or powderpost beetles.
