Do New Homes Have Termites?

http:www.askthecharlotteinspector.com I am often asked new homes have termites? The chances of a new home having termites are a little slim but as you will see in this video it does happen. While inspecting a house in Mooresville a Charlotte home inspector found active termites. We find active termites everyday but rarely do we find him in a three year old house like this one in Mooresville. When the inspector entered the crawlspace there were active termites on the rear foundation wall and the foundation wall adjacent to the garage. All houses have a soil treatment when their first built. This is usually why termites don't show up for the first 10 years or so. Several things can happen though. First of all the soil treatment can be weak in chemical. The treated soil could get moved after the applicator has left and they could have built the house right on top of an area where there was a dead trees. You remove the termites food they will be looking for something else to eat. You don't want that to be your house. So whether you have a new or existing house home inspection Carolina recommends that you get a termite inspection every year. www.homeinspectioncarolina.com
