You might hear termite letters also referred to as the Official Georgia Wood Infestation Inspection Report.
If you are a part of the real estate transaction process, whether you are a buyer or seller, it is highly recommended to have your home inspected for wood destroying organisms or WDO, which Serenity Home Inspections offers as an add on service to your home inspection.
Our patterning pest control company will provide you with a termite clearance letter stating that the property has been inspected for wood destroying organisms. This includes conditions conducive to infestation, as well as other wood destroying insects such as powder post beetles, wood borers, wood decay fungus and drywood termites, This letter may be required by mortgage or loan companies.
These letters should be read carefully after they are received because they could state that there is not a current termite problem, but there might be prior termite damage that was untreated or uncorrected. If this is found, it is important for the buyer and seller to negotiate who is to be responsible for repairing this damage.
Termite damage is very serious and can cause your home to have detrimental structural falters, and expensive repairs. If termites activity is found or suspected it should be inspected and treated immediately.
