Why Wood-Destroying Insect Inspections Matter

Wood-destroying insects feed on wood and wood-based materials, which can weaken framing, flooring, and other structural components. Left unaddressed, damage can lead to costly repairs and unexpected delays during real estate transactions.

Inspections are commonly required during home purchases, refinancing, and property sales. Even when not required, inspections provide valuable insight into a property’s condition and help reduce surprises after closing.

Common Signs of Wood-Destroying Insect Activity

While some infestations remain hidden, certain signs may indicate possible activity. These include damaged wood, mud tubes, discarded wings, and moisture-related issues. However, not all signs are obvious, which is why professional inspections are important.

Our inspections focus on identifying visible evidence and conditions that could increase risk, allowing clients to address concerns early.

Wood-Destroying Insect Inspections for Buyers and Sellers

For buyers, a wood-destroying insect inspection provides additional confidence before completing a purchase. For sellers, inspections can help identify issues early, allowing time for resolution and smoother transactions.

Lenders and real estate professionals often require wood-destroying insect inspections as part of the closing process. NorthStar Inspections delivers clear documentation to support these requirements.

Clear Reports With Straightforward Findings

Every wood-destroying insect inspection includes a clear, easy-to-read report outlining observed conditions. Reports include photos when applicable and explanations written in plain language.

Our goal is to ensure clients understand what was observed, why it matters, and what steps may be recommended next. We do not perform treatments, allowing us to provide unbiased findings focused solely on inspection.
