Termite & WDI Inspection in East New York, NY

What We Typically Find on Termite & WDI Inspection in East New York

Termite inspections in East New York center on the wood-frame and wood-sill components of 1900-1940 attached homes. Recurring findings: eastern subterranean termite damage in original sill plates and joist ends along the rear of the home where untreated wood meets concrete or earth, powder-post beetle galleries in basement floor joists and exposed beams (powder-post damage looks like fine sawdust at the gallery openings), wood-to-soil contact at rear-yard fence posts and stoops creating active mud-tube highways, and conducive conditions where firewood or stored lumber sits against the foundation. We use a probe + moisture meter on every accessible structural wood member and complete the WDI/NPMA-33 form required by VA and FHA loans.
