Termite Inspection in Monroe
Micro-Breach Exclusion — Termite Inspection services in Monroe
A termite inspection is us going over a house, inside and out, looking for the signs termites leave rather than the termites themselves. People call for one when they've seen something that worried them, or because a closing date is coming up and a termite letter is part of the paperwork.
Which ones you get here
- Real estate / closing inspection: This one ends in a signed form on a deadline, not just a conversation — the report has to match what the sale requires.
- Pier-and-beam crawlspace inspection: We get underneath the house and look the joists and sills in the eye instead of guessing from above.
- Slab-on-grade inspection: No crawlspace to get into, so it's baseboards, moisture readings, and sounding the wood instead of a straight look underneath.
- Post-swarm inspection: Someone saw winged termites or a pile of shed wings, and the job is finding where they came from before the trail goes cold.
- Monitoring inspection on existing stations: Routine check of bait stations already in the ground — nobody's alarmed, it's just due.
What termite inspection involves
- Perimeter walk: We check the foundation line outside for mud tubes, wood touching soil, and anywhere moisture is sitting against the house.
- Crawlspace or attic access: Where the house allows it, we get underneath or up top and probe the framing directly rather than from a distance.
- Sound and probe test: We tap and press on wood that looks suspect — sills, door frames, baseboards — feeling for the give that solid wood doesn't have.
- Written findings: We write up what we found and where, including anything that's inviting termites in even if nothing's active yet.
When you need it
- Winged insects at a window screen or porch light some evening in spring.
- A scatter of shed wings on a windowsill with no bugs attached to them.
- Mud tubes running up a pier, foundation wall, or crawlspace post.
- A board that sounds hollow or gives under a screwdriver when it shouldn't.
What changes the job
A pier-and-beam house opens up easy — we get underneath and look the joists in the eye. A slab house doesn't give us that, so we're working off moisture readings and sound instead of a straight look. Older houses in town carry layers of old additions and repairs to check behind, and with a water table too high for most basements, ground moisture close to the house matters more here than it would somewhere with better drainage.
