Home Inspection West Sayville, NY: Picture looks harmless right?  Not exactly.

Soil against your siding can cause issues as the first piece of lumber atop your foundation can be very close to grade, and termite forage for your lumber.

Termites build what are known as mud or shelter tubes out of sand, soil, and their secretions, and these tubes can be found inside and outside the home. They travel within these tubes, find cellulose in the lumber, and return it to the colony.

Siding could be hiding these tubes and you would never know it.

Meticulous Home Inspection brings a separate, full service termite contractor to do all our termite inspections when we perform a home inspection in West Islip.

But other companies offer ‘free termite’ inspection as a sales gimmick included with their inspection. What’s the difference?

Inspectors that offer free termite inspections do so after taking a class, but without an applicators license they cannot apply pesticides, or install and monitor bait stations – in other words - they are not true termite professionals.

When we perform a Suffolk county home inspection in West Sayville, we bring a termite professional with an APPLICATORS' LICENSE who treats homes every day. Not an inspector that merely took a class.

So don’t be ridiculous, call Meticulous! 631 902 6761. www.meticuloushomeinspection.com.
