What Is Termite Inspection?
A professional termite inspection involves a systematic examination of your property's foundation, crawl space, wooden framing, and exterior to detect live termite colonies, mud tubes, and wood damage.
Why Choose Guardian Pest Solutions for Termite Inspection
Why Choose Us
Our Atlanta-based inspectors know exactly where Eastern subterranean termites colonize in Georgia's clay-heavy soil. We check crawl spaces, pier-and-beam foundations, and wood-to-soil contact points that generic inspectors routinely overlook.
Common Termite Inspection Scenarios
Home Purchase Inspection
Buyers in Atlanta neighborhoods like Decatur and Sandy Springs request pre-closing termite inspections to avoid inheriting costly hidden structural damage.
Mud Tube Discovery
Homeowners spot pencil-width mud tubes running along foundation walls or piers and need immediate professional assessment of active colony presence.
Annual Preventive Check
Established Atlanta homeowners schedule yearly inspections because Georgia's termite pressure remains high year-round due to consistently mild winters.
Our Termite Inspection Process
Schedule and Preparation
We book your inspection within days and ask you to clear access to crawl spaces, utility rooms, and garage walls so nothing goes unchecked.
Interior Examination
Inspectors probe wooden window frames, door casings, basement joists, and subfloor areas using moisture meters and flashlights to locate concealed damage.
Exterior and Perimeter Survey
We walk the full foundation perimeter, checking expansion joints, wood mulch contact, deck posts, and landscape timbers where termites enter Georgia homes.
Report and Recommendations
You receive a written report within 24 hours detailing findings, severity ratings, photographic evidence, and specific treatment or monitoring recommendations.
Termite Inspection - Frequently Asked Questions
Most single-family homes in Atlanta require 45 to 90 minutes. Larger properties or homes with extensive crawl spaces and multiple outbuildings may take closer to two hours for a thorough examination.
Georgia lenders and buyers commonly require a Wood Infestation Report, also called a Form CL-100. Our licensed inspectors provide this official document, which is valid for 30 days from the inspection date.
Look for pencil-thin mud tubes on foundation walls, hollow-sounding wood when tapped, discarded wings near windowsills in spring, and small piles of frass that resembles sawdust near wooden structures.
Georgia's climate supports year-round termite activity, so annual inspections are the industry standard. Homes with previous infestations, crawl spaces, or wood-to-soil contact benefit from inspections every six months.
