Solid City Inspections Now Offering Free Termite Inspections

Solid City Inspections Is Now Offering A Free Termite Inspection With All Our Home Inspections!!
Do I need to worry about termites?
Termites are responsible for an estimated $5 billion of damage every year in the United States and more than 5 million homes have some type of termite problem.  Termite control is essential for any homeowner concerned with asset protection.
Subterranean Termites are wood destroying insects that cause significant structural damage if they remain undetected and untreated. Because termite damage is not typically covered by insurance, repairs can be costly.
 How do I know if I have termites?
Termites live in underground colonies, tunneling undetected through the soil into a structure. Because of their subterranean nature, an infestation may go undetected for some time. But there are warning signs of an active termite infestation including:
  • Winged insects, called “swarmers” in or around your home or winged parts scattered around your doors or windows
  • Mud tubes leading from the ground to a piece of infested wood or up the foundation walls
  • Damage to wood or other cellulose materials
 Solid City Inspections will provide an in depth termite inspection with every home inspection we provide.

Solid City Home Inspection
The purchase or sale of a home is one of the largest single investments / transactions you may ever make That’s why you need a home inspection. Solid City Inspections can help you make sound decisions based on our professional residential inspections. Solid City Inspections professional report will provide you with an independent, objective analysis of the conditions. Our Infrared imaging provides important information relating to otherwise inaccessible areas of a residential building. Infrared detects extremely small but crucial differences in temperature from one area of a house to another. These temperature variations show up on the camera’s view screen as “cold” or “hot” spots, which reveal hidden problems that often cannot be detected in the course of a traditional visual inspection.
These problems may include:
·         Faulty wiring, breakers and fuses
·         Hidden moisture intrusion
·         The moisture sources of mold
·         Pipe and duct work leaks
·         Roof and ceiling leaks
·         Foundation cracks
·         Heat/energy loss
·         Structural concerns
·         Missing insulation
·         Ventilation problems
·         Moisture associated with termite nests
·         Rats, mice and other pests
Why Perform Infrared Home Inspections?
Combined with traditional home inspection techniques, the infrared inspection method reveals substantially more of the house than can be perceived by the naked eye and conventional inspection tools. Many things can't be seen with only a flashlight.
Remember no home (even a new build) is perfect.
