Termites are Wood Destroying Insects (WDI). They feel on cellulose , the basic building block of wood, including lumber used in home construction.  Thousands of homes are built of wood and if left unprotected or monitored, can fall prey to termite infestation and attack.  Extreme cases of termite infestation can lead to homes being condemned.  Less extreme cases can result in thousands of dollars of home renovations and property devaluation.  If you think you have a termite problem or the new home you may be buying may have a termite problem, consider hiring a reputable termite inspection company, Property Facts Home and Energy Inspections.

The new guidelines set forth by FHA/VA on home purchasing no longer require having a termite/wood boring insect inspection when securing a loan. However, Property Facts Home Inspections conducts these as part of their complete home inspection. They can also be purchased separately.
