Professional Termite Inspections for South Miami Properties
Licensed WDO Inspector Serving the Community
Termite inspections in South Miami require an inspector who understands both the science of termite behavior and the specific characteristics of local properties. The city's diverse housing stock, from historic bungalows to contemporary construction, presents inspection challenges that demand experience and expertise. Florida Termite Guys brings that knowledge to every South Miami inspection.
Our licensed WDO inspector examines properties throughout South Miami with the thoroughness real estate professionals and homeowners expect. We check areas where termites commonly establish colonies: attic spaces with wood framing, garage areas where moisture accumulates, exterior perimeters where landscaping contacts structures, and the countless hidden spaces termites prefer.
For real estate transactions, our official WDO reports meet all lender requirements and provide clear documentation of findings. We understand tight closing timelines and prioritize inspections accordingly. Most South Miami inspection requests receive same-day or next-day scheduling, with reports typically delivered within 24 hours.
Beyond real estate, regular inspections give South Miami homeowners valuable information about their property's condition. The mature tree canopy shading most neighborhoods creates termite-friendly conditions year-round. Catching activity early, before significant damage occurs, can save thousands in repair costs and treatment expense.

What Our South Miami Inspections Cover
Comprehensive assessment of your property
Our inspection protocol examines all areas where termites commonly establish colonies and cause damage in South Miami properties.
Interior Inspection
We examine interior wood components including baseboards, door frames, window frames, and any visible wood trim. In older South Miami homes, this includes original millwork and built-in features that drywood termites often target. We look for telltale signs: exit holes, frass deposits, and subtle damage patterns.
Attic and Roof Structure
Attic spaces contain exposed wood framing where termite activity often becomes visible first. We inspect rafters, trusses, and sheathing for damage signs and active infestations. In South Miami's older homes, these spaces frequently reveal drywood termite presence.
Exterior Perimeter
The exterior perimeter reveals subterranean termite activity through mud tubes on foundations, damaged wood siding, and compromised exterior trim. We examine where landscaping contacts the structure, fence attachments, and exterior wood features common on South Miami properties.
Garage and Storage Areas
Garages often harbor termite activity due to stored cardboard, wood contact with soil, and moisture accumulation. We inspect garage framing, attached structures, and any wood storage that could mask or encourage infestation.

About South Miami
Local context for termite inspections
South Miami's real estate market reflects the city's unique appeal. The walkable downtown, established neighborhoods, and proximity to the University of Miami draw buyers seeking alternatives to typical suburban development. Properties here command premium values, making thorough inspection essential for both buyers and sellers.
The housing stock spans nearly a century of construction. Mediterranean Revival bungalows from the 1920s and 1930s feature original wood elements that require careful inspection. Mid-century homes from the 1950s and 1960s present different construction characteristics. Newer infill development uses modern building practices. Each era demands inspection approaches appropriate to its construction methods.
South Miami's tree canopy creates desirable shade while generating conditions favorable to termites. The mature oaks, mahoganies, and tropical trees throughout residential areas produce debris and maintain moisture levels that support termite populations. Properties in ZIP codes 33143 and 33155 experience consistent termite pressure that makes regular inspection valuable regardless of transaction status.
Our detailed inspection process documents all findings clearly, providing the information needed for informed decisions about treatment or real estate transactions.

Bought a 1940s bungalow and needed inspection fast. Florida Termite Guys came same day, found issues in the attic the seller's inspector missed, and we negotiated repairs before closing. Their thorough inspection saved us significant unexpected expense.

Selling our home required a clean WDO report. The inspector was thorough and professional. Report came the next morning, and we closed on schedule. Exactly the service we needed during an already stressful process.

After seeing termite swarmers, I called for inspection. They came out quickly, identified drywood termites in two areas, and explained options clearly. No pressure, just honest information. Treated the following week and problem solved.
