What the Report Covers
In California, a structural pest control inspection report is typically organized around:
- Section 1 findings: active infestations, infections, or damage, and conditions that are likely to lead to them
- Section 2 findings: conditions that could lead to infestation or infection, but don't currently show it
- Further inspection items: areas that couldn't be inspected and may need access opened up
- Recommendations and cost estimates for any corrective work
Reports address wood-destroying pests and organisms, including drywood termites, subterranean termites, dampwood termites, and wood-decay fungus. Ask your technician to walk you through the report line by line; we’re happy to.
Termite inspections aren’t legally required for every California home sale, but many lenders and buyers require or request one, and it’s common practice during escrow.

How Our Real Estate Termite Inspection Works
Schedule
Tell us the property address, escrow timeline, and who needs the report. We’ll work to match your deadline.
Inspection
We inspect the attic, crawl space, foundation, exterior wood, and accessible interior areas, looking for termites, moisture, and conditions that attract them. See what’s included in our standard termite inspection.
Written Report
You receive a written report with findings, photos where applicable, and recommendations.
Treatment & Clearance (If Needed)
If active termites are found, we provide a quote for termite treatment, local termite treatment, or fumigation, and can provide completion documentation once work is done.
Tips for Buyers and Sellers
- Sellers: inspect before listing, if possible. Surprises during escrow give buyers leverage.
- Buyers: make sure attic and crawl space access is available on inspection day. Blocked areas become "further inspection" items.
- Everyone: treat the report as a negotiation tool, not a deal-breaker. Many findings are routine and fixable.
- Ask who's paying: who covers inspection and corrective work is negotiable and set in the purchase agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a termite inspection required to sell a house in California?
Not by law in every sale, but many lenders and buyers require or request one, and it’s standard during escrow.
Who pays for the termite inspection, buyer or seller?
It’s negotiable and specified in the purchase agreement. Practices vary by deal and region.
How long does the inspection and report take?
The inspection typically takes about an hour or more depending on the property, and the report follows shortly after. Tell us your escrow deadline when you book.
What's the difference between Section 1 and Section 2 findings?
Section 1 covers active infestation or damage and conditions likely to lead to it. Section 2 covers conditions that could lead to future problems but don’t currently show activity.
What happens if termites are found?
We explain the findings and provide a quote for the recommended work. See termite treatment.
Can you inspect a property I don't own yet?
Yes, with access arranged through the seller or listing agent.
Does a clean report mean the house is termite-free forever?
No. It reflects conditions on inspection day. Annual inspections are recommended after closing.
