TERMITE DAMAGE - How Much Did They Damage My Wood Floor?

After living in our home for about 7 years, we finally decided to remove the wood flooring in a bedroom. We were told the home had termites and was treated before we moved in. We actually inherited and keep renewing our termite warranty with a national company. We didn't know exactly where the termite damage was, until today.

Regular termite inspections and home maintenance on your plumbing fixtures and hvac equipment is an easy way to prevent most water leaks, which attract termites. If termite tubes are found on your foundation, call an exterminator to evaluate the infestation and treat as needed.

I found several areas of termite infestation in the wood flooring. We will be replacing the wood with carpet to cut down on noise and increase comfort in the bedroom. Subscribe to my channel @Home Inspector Dan - Phoenix, AZ for those videos soon.

Hey! Thanks for watching and please subscribe to my channel for more videos. If you are buying a home in the Phoenix and surrounding area, I would be happy to assist you in your home purchase.

My goal is to help homeowners identify issues and defect, safety updates, and feel more comfortable with the sale process. My knowledge base is growing every day, so it's fine if you call me out on something on my videos. We are all here to learn and be better homeowners, so please share your thoughts and ideas in the comments.

Home Inspector Dan is a certified home inspector by the state of Arizona Board of Technical Registration, Termite Inspector by the Arizona Department of Agriculture, and is a Certified Professional Inspector @ the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors. Working alongside industry leaders and constant training has given me the education, resources, and experiences to help you buy your next home. Being employed with BPG Inspections has given me the opportunity to grow and learn from many inspectors across the country.

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. All BPG inspectors in Arizona are licensed termite inspectors through the Department of Agriculture in Arizona.

I inspect pool and spas for defects, recommend upgrades, and test equipment. Remember, all underground plumbing needs a camera for inspection, a standard home inspection can not examine underground plumbing. I do provide a sewer camera option at all of my inspections.

I have an infrared camera and moisture meter to help find thermal and water leaks. Water still causes the most damage to our homes in Arizona. If your house doesn't have gutters, it should. A long lasting home has proper grading and drainage. Water damaged foundations cost homeowners in Arizona millions in repairs every year.

Please be reminded that my channel is education and entertainment, I am not a professional tradesman. I am a professional inspector trained in finding defects, identifying safety issues, educating the homeowner and recommending a tradesman to help my client. The repairman will have the most accurate estimates and opinions as they know their industry far better than the typical home inspector.

I am a professional generalist that, for a fairly nominal fee before the sale of a home, will help a homeowner during the buying process in any way that I can. And remain their home inspector for as long as they own that home, providing education and a resource for answering any of their home ownership questions. And happily inspecting all of their friends and families homes! :)
