What Is a Termite Inspection for a Home Purchase?

Regardless of when you buy a home in Norwood, a termite inspection is a requirement if you intend 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 Norwood homes. It indicates on whether any wood-destroying insects can be found in the home. Our objective is to:

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

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

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

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

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

It isn’t required for an inspector to observe live insects to recommend a treatment. Rather, the inspector will use his or her experience and knowledge to determine if there is a reason to believe these pests are present, and also what degree of treatment might have been used previously. In addition, lenders, real estate agents, buyers, and sellers serving the Norwood area may turn to our inspectors for guidance on what, if anything, may be done to treat for termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees or powderpost beetles.
