Nashville, Murfreesboro, Knoxville and Chattanooga TN
Termites are not known for being active year round, but living in the temperate climate of middle Tennessee, termites usually do not go totally dormant once the winter turns colder. In fact, when temperatures drop, termites may be even more likely to infiltrate your home or business in search of shelter. As a property owner, or a prospective property buyer, you want to make sure you are protected against the risks of termite damage. That’s why, today on the blog, we explain why a termite letter is a crucial part of the process if you are buying a property in Murfreesboro.
What is a termite letter?
This is an official written document that verifies that the associated structure has been inspected for termites and other wood-destroying insects, and that there are none of these pests present at or around the building. A termite letter only can be produced at the end of a termite inspection from a qualified professional.
The importance of a termite letter
Termite damage can affect any building, even a newly constructed home or commercial space. Even in cases of new construction, the underlying structure could be experiencing issues. Was the wood left outside in the rain longer than it should have been? By having the property undergo a termite inspection, you receive the answer to that question. A termite professional has the experience and training to identify signs of termites or an infestation that are otherwise impossible to detect.
Buying a foreclosed property? A transaction like this comes with some degree of risk as you are buying the property as-is, but you can remove termite damage from the equation by scheduling a termite inspection before you complete the transaction. Our experts provide a thorough assessment of the entire structure and property, while also identifying any problem areas where termites may be at risk of swarming or developing a colony in the future.
What happens after you receive your termite letter?
It’s important to remember that a termite letter is not binding forever. It is only good for 30 days. That means that, at the end of the 30 days, the responsibility of termite control falls to you. Thankfully, the team at Ameri Care Services offers termite control to our residential and commercial customers in Nashville and Murfreesboro in Tennessee.
