Termite infested structural roof framing in attic

This truss is in need of an engineer to evaluate repairs. I didn't spend enough time to understand the depth of the infestation in this attic, it was not current. A roof like this could show zero signs of problems until an inspection uncovers the evidence. I really enjoy finding these, because they are hard to find! I'll share more as soon as I can.

Termites in Arizona can cause some serious damage, but most of the time, not really. Subterranean termites are somewhat lazy and it takes a long time for them to cause serious damage. You must be diligent with inspections or treatments though, because an unnoticed termite infestation can grow to the extent of structural damage.

Home Inspector Dan is a certified home inspector by the state of Arizona Board of Technical Registration, Arizona Department of Agriculture, and is a Certified Professional Inspector @ the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors. Training and working alongside industry leaders at InterNACHI and BPG Inspections has given me the education, resources, and experiences to help you buy your next home the right way.

Home Inspector Dan performs comprehensive visual inspections involving a home’s major visible, structural and mechanical systems for homeowners and prospective buyers. The items examined in a typical home inspection include the plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning systems, foundation, roof, exterior and interior structures and built-in appliances. The visual inspection culminates in a set of comprehensive, computer generated reports describing the condition of the items and systems inspected. Your digital report with photos will be delivered within 24 hours or less.

According to the National Pest Management Association International, termites cost $5 billion a year in treatments and damage throughout the United States. Because Arizona has a high population of termites, I provide termite inspections with every inspection. Licensing and continuing education through the Department of Agriculture of Arizona.

I inspect pool and spas for any defects, recommend upgrades, and test equipment. Remember, all underground plumbing needs a camera for inspection, a standard home inspection can not examine underground plumbing. Upgrade the inspection to use a sewer cam if the property is over about 20 years old.

I have an infrared camera that I use as I see necessary. I can provide specific thermal inspections alongside a home inspection. High quality moisture detectors can detect water 2 inches inside of a tile wall, IT"S AWESOME! On top of that, I am your HOME INSPECTOR FOR LIFE!
