Chandler Termite Inspection
“Who in their right mind would buy a home in Chandler without getting a good termite inspection?”
Although there is no law mandating a termite inspection report for the sale or purchase of a home in Chandler Arizona, some mortage lenders may require a termite report as a condition of the loan.
Given the destructive nature of termites in Chandler…a termite inspection report can be a valuable tool in making the proper home buying decision. Nobody wants to buy a termite infested home, nor do they want to discover hidden termite damage after moving in to their “dream home.”
Educated Chandler buyers and responsible realtors should insist upon a Chandler termite inspection report prior to agreeing to purchase any structure in Chandler Arizona.
Chandler is home to several species of Arizona termites. Most Chandler termite inspectors are only familiar with one or two of the more common Arizona termites. This leaves the potential for an inexperienced termite inspector to overlook a termite infestation and/or hidden termite damage.
Chandler is home to other wood eating insects such as Carpenter Ants, wood boring beetles and Carpenter Bees etc. An inexperienced termite inspector can overlook obvious signs of infestation or damage from these pests.
Not all Chandler termite exterminators are the same. When considering the purchase of a Chandler home do your own research and select a Chandler termite company with the experience and reputation to provide a thorough termite inspection and report.
