The purpose of this type of inspection is to identify and report the presence of fungus, dry rot, subterranean termites, drywood termites, wood boring beetles, carpenter bees, carpenter ants, and things that could lead to infestations such as earth-to-wood contact, leaking sinks, showers, bathtubs, sprinkler valves, and hose bibs. We also report anything we could not inspect such as attic spaces, underneath decks, and room conversions that are built on a wood foundation over a concrete slab. This type of inspection ranges in price from $240 to $300 based on age, square footage, and foundation type. Please call with the details of your property for an exact price.
If your house is built on a raised foundation (a home with a crawl space or basement) there is a charge of $150 to $265 for us to crawl under this type of home. This inspection will include a written bid for the necessary chemical treatment to eliminate the infestation.
Some house painters and contractors request homeowners have the exterior of their home inspected for dry rot damage prior to painting or remodeling. We charge $150.00 for this type of inspection which includes a detailed report with photographs of each area of rot identified. This inspection is limited to the exterior of the home only. No interior or crawl space inspection is included.
