Termite Inspections In Wichita, KS & Surrounding Areas

Termites are nasty customers. They’re almost invisible, completely silent and have the potential to cause extensive damage before a homeowner ever recognizes he or she has a problem.

At Profound Home Inspections, we proudly offer termite inspections in the Wichita, Kansas area.

Just uttering the word “termite” can make some homeowners shudder, and for good reason. Termites are active in 49 of the 50 states (Alaska is too cold to sustain them), and cause more than $50 billion in property damage every year.

If you’re buying a home, having the dwelling inspected for termites beforehand can save you headaches later. Actually, if you’re taking out a mortgage, there’s a good chance the lender will require that you have a termite inspection (as well as a general home inspection) performed before the sale is finalized.

 

Most home purchase agreements are contingent on the results of independent inspections like termite inspections designed to reveal hidden problems and dangers:

Termites eat wood from the inside out. That means they leave very little evidence of their presence until an infestation is pretty far along. Because the warning signs can be subtle, it will probably take an expert to recognize them.

A large termite colony feasting on the wood in a home can consume a pound of cellulose a day but it's usually much less. That can lead to structural damage you won't want to deal with. The presence of termites doesn't necessarily mean a home is unsound, though, especially if the infestation is relatively recent. An expert will know the difference.

A termite inspector can help decipher more than just the warning signs of termites. Most inspectors are trained to recognize the presence of other wood-destroying pests like carpenter ants, too

A termite inspection is typically an expense borne by the buyer, but it’s worth the price.
