Is your home feeding unwanted guests?
It is estimated that a wooden structure has a 70% chance of being attacked by termites within 10 to 20 years. Termites are a problem that many Arizona property owners face at one time or another.
However, the good news is if you catch the infestation early, you have a higher likelihood to treat it quickly & easily – Prior to significant damage occurring. AJF’s Inspection Team can give you that peace of mind.
What it Includes
STRUCTURAL
ASSESSMENT
Thorough examination of the structure, including foundations, walls, and wooden components, to detect any signs of termite infestation or damage.
CRAWL SPACES AND BASEMENTS
Comprehensive inspection of crawl spaces and basements, common areas where termites may establish colonies, to ensure early detection.
WOODEN
ELEMENTS
Detailed scrutiny of wooden elements for any indications of termite activity or damage.
SOIL AND
LANDSCAPE
Evaluation of soil and landscaping features around the property to identify conditions conducive to termite infestation.
ACCESS
POINTS
Examination of potential access points, including cracks, gaps, and openings, where termites may enter the structure.
PEACE OF
MIND
Go into your home purchase with the peace of mind that there isn’t a costly infestation of wood-destroying termites.
Signs of an Infestation
- Swarming — Mature colonies of these wood-destroying insects produce swarmers (winged adults). If swarmers are found inside, that is usually a symptom of a larger problem.
- Mud Tubes — Mud tubes found on walls, floor joists, or floor systems are highways for termites.
- Feeding — Wood that is soft and easily disintegrates when poked is a sign of a possible infestation, as is wood that sounds hollow when you tap on it with a screwdriver handle.
- Staining - Moisture accumulation and wood decay caused by termite tunneling can cause dark, uneven stains on wooden surfaces.
