What a termite inspection covers

A termite inspection looks at the places where termites can get into a building: the foundation inside and out, the crawlspace or basement, wood that touches or sits close to soil, and damp areas such as spots around plumbing, gutters, downspouts and leaks.

Signs of termites

Termites often stay hidden, so damage can go on for a long time before anyone notices. These are the signs to watch for:

Mud tubes

Subterranean termites live in the soil and can build narrow tubes of mud to travel between the soil and wood while staying out of dry, open air. These tubes may run up foundation walls, piers, basement walls or the inside of a crawlspace. Breaking a tube open may show live termites inside.

Shed wings

Winged termites leave a colony to start new ones. After a short flight they can drop their wings, so small piles of same-size wings, often on window sills, may point to a colony nearby.

Damaged or hollow-sounding wood

Termites can eat wood from the inside, mostly along the softer grain, so a board may look fine on the surface but be hollowed out inside, and it gives way easily when probed with a screwdriver. Damaged wood broken open can show layered tunnels with soil packed inside. Wood near the ground, such as sills, siding, trim and framing in a crawlspace, can be the first place this shows up.

Swarmers indoors in spring

In spring, often on a warm day after rain, termite colonies may release winged termites called swarmers. Seeing swarmers inside can mean a colony is in or under the building. Swarmers can look like flying ants, but termites have straight antennae, a thick waist and two pairs of wings of about the same length.
