Real Estate Inspections In Hampton, VA

Why You Need A Professional Real Estate Inspection

If you’re purchasing a new home in the Hampton area, there’s a lot to take care of, from the loan agreements to the closing costs to the down payment to the property inspection. So it’s easy to forget that in addition to the inspection that tells you about potential issues with plumbing, appliances, fire hazards, and the like, you also need a home pest inspection that looks specifically for wood-destroying organisms.

While you may think a property inspection will cover this, these are actually two different inspections. When it comes to wood-destroying organisms, you need an inspection that specifically targets them because their presence is not always easy for untrained eyes to decipher. If pests like termites and carpenter ants get missed by your general property inspector, you’re the one who will be living with the consequences.

That’s why you should trust Statewide Alliance to perform your new home pest inspection. We’re experts in all the pests endemic to Virginia, and we know exactly how to find sneaky termites and wily carpenter ants so that you can know about them before you get into your new home.

Our Real Estate Inspection Process

At Statewide Alliance, we have expertise in all sorts of wood-destroying organisms. When we come out to do your pest inspection for your home purchase, we won’t just check for signs of termites. We’ll also look for signs of other destructive pests that can do a number on the home you’re about to buy as well. These pests include:

  • Carpenter ants
  • Carpenter bees
  • Wood-boring beetles
  • Wood-decaying fungi

All of these pests can wreak havoc on wooden buildings. Some, like termites, can even cause serious structural damage to your potential new home. We’ll check for active infestations of these nasty pests and any damage that old infestations may have left behind.

We’ll also discuss with you any conducive conditions we find that could lead to potential future infestations. Conducive conditions include things like moisture problems, dry rot, and wood-to-ground contact. Knowing about these issues can help you work with the seller to solve them or negotiate a price drop before you purchase your home.

All our findings will go into a report that we will share with you and any third parties who need the information. Once you have this report, you can decide to proceed with the purchase as-is, renegotiate the deal, or back out altogether.

When we come to perform a pest inspection for a potential new home purchase, we will ask you for some information so that we can stay in contact and send our final report to the appropriate recipients. We will, of course, need boilerplate information like your name and contact info. But we’ll also need information like:

  • The name of the seller
  • Whether the property is vacant
  • Any lockbox codes
  • Number and location of detached structures to be inspected
  • Closing date
  • Name of the person or entity handling the closing 

We’ll want to get this and any other relevant information before performing a new home pest inspection, so be sure to have it ready when you’re scheduling your appointment. Once you have set up your wood-destroying organism inspection, you can relax. You’re in good hands with the pest experts here at Statewide Alliance!

Trust Statewide Alliance To Protect You From Pest Infestations!

Most of the time, you don’t have a choice but to get a wood-destroying organism inspection. Most mortgage companies require a pest inspection for a home loan, and if you don’t get one, they won’t fund your home purchase. It’s that simple.

Even if you don’t need a home loan pest inspection because you’re buying in cash, you still shouldn’t skip this vital service. While home sellers are legally required to tell you about known infestations of pests like termites or carpenter ants, it is exceedingly easy to have an infestation of these destructive insects without knowing it. Plus, it can be very hard to prove that a homeowner who did not disclose infestations knew about them beforehand. This means you’re most often the responsible party if you find your home is infested after you purchase it.

Home pest inspections can save you from all the costs and headaches associated with wood-destroying pest infestations. They can allow you to find out about any problems and negotiate with the seller to resolve them before the purchase, or you can back out altogether. This is why you should always get an inspection and report for wood-destroying pests before you buy, no matter how you are funding your purchase.

Here at Statewide Alliance, you can trust our expertise in all the destructive pests endemic to our area. We can help protect you from purchasing a home full of termites and other wood-destroying critters. So don’t wait. Set up your appointment today!
