We start with an outside inspection of your home to include looking for any leaks or drainage issues into your homes foundation, searching for cracks or leaks into these areas. Furthermore we carefully examine where home foundation meets the soil, inspecting soil level where it meets the foundation and insuring the soil is not above the foundation or covering weep holes. Termites can easily build their colonies in such areas and can also tunnel up from the soil towards the weep holes.
