Pest and Dry Rot Inspection

Portfolio Home 1, Single-Item Testing

Pest and dry rot inspections are included with all Home Inspections or can be ordered as a stand-alone service. Learn if your home or office has structural damage due to Wood Destroying Organisms.

 

What are Pests?

A pest inspection is also known as a termite inspection. Wood-eatting pests include termites, carpenter ants, wood-infesting beetles and rot fungus.

 

What is Dry Rot?

Dry rot is a term used to denote wood decay by certain fungi that feed on molecules which give wood its strength and stiffness. Buildings that are poorly ventilated are more susceptible to wood deterioration and appear cracked and powdered to the eye and weakened to the touch.
