Termite Inspection Services in Coral Gables

Interior Examination

We inspect all accessible interior spaces including attic areas, closets, bathrooms, kitchens, and living spaces. We examine wood framing, window and door frames, baseboards, crown moldings, and built-in cabinetry. In historic Coral Gables homes, original woodwork receives particular attention as these features attract drywood termites.

Foundation and Exterior

Foundation walls are examined for mud tubes indicating subterranean termite activity. We inspect where wood contacts soil, examine siding and trim, assess exterior doors and window frames, and check any wooden structures like pergolas, fences, or decking. Coral rock foundations common in older Gables homes receive careful examination for entry points.

Roof Structure

Accessible attic spaces allow examination of roof framing. Barrel tile roofs, characteristic of Coral Gables architecture, rest on wood support structures that drywood termites target. We identify active infestations, prior damage, and conditions conducive to future termite problems.

Documentation and Reporting

All findings are documented in a detailed report including photographs of any issues discovered. For WDO inspections, we provide official forms accepted by lenders, title companies, and real estate attorneys. Reports clearly communicate what we found and what, if any, treatment is recommended.
