Termite Homeowner Checklist

Having these conditions can void the Termite Damage portion of your contract. Homeowner maintenance is needed to help prevent and control termites.

– Keep all dirt below the foundation of the slab and piers so that 2-3 inches are visible for inspection and moisture reduction.

– Keep tree branches and plants from growing above or on the structure. Plants touching the structure and vines growing on the home are included with this.

– Keep firewood, wood, and form boards away from direct contact with the soil near the structure.

– Eliminate standing water under the home or against the slab. Ensure proper drainage.

– Increase ventilation in crawl spaces to limit moisture.

– Inspect and eliminate or replace any wood rot in the home, windows, door frames, etc.

– Inspect and address all cracks in the foundation of the slab.  Disclose any cracks or slab additions to us.

– Call us if you disturb treatment or stations around the perimeter of the structure. We must retreat.

– If we ever note down a conducive area, please call us to state that you have rectified the area.  Not all areas can easily be fixed, and some areas may require you consult with a contractor, landscaper, or home inspector.usus
