A termite inspection is a visual examination of a home for signs of termite activity, infestations and other wood-destroying insects. Termites work quietly inside walls, sills and framing, so by the time damage is visible on the surface, the structural harm is often already done — which is why lenders insist on a professional inspection before closing.
We are licensed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for termite inspections, and we provide the official NPMA-33 wood-destroying insect report that your mortgage lender requires. Your PDF report is delivered the same day as the inspection.
What the inspection covers
- A visual examination of accessible interior and exterior areas, including basements and crawl spaces.
- Evidence of activity: mud tubes, damaged or hollow-sounding wood, discarded wings and frass.
- Wood-destroying insects beyond termites, such as carpenter ants and powderpost beetles.
- Conditions that invite infestation, like wood-to-soil contact and persistent moisture.
- The official NPMA-33 report, completed and emailed the same day.
When to book one
- You’re buying a home and your lender requires an NPMA-33 report.
- You’ve noticed mud tubes on the foundation, sagging floors or damaged wood.
- Winged insects are swarming inside or around the home, especially in spring.
- You want peace of mind before listing your home for sale.
