A lot of New York City homeowners assume termites are a southern problem. They’re not. Subterranean termites are active throughout all five boroughs, and they’re especially destructive in older buildings the kind that make up most of Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan’s residential housing stock.
The problem with termites is that they work quietly. A colony can consume structural wood for years before you see any visible damage. By the time you notice mud tubes along a foundation wall or hollow-sounding floor joists, the damage is already done.
Our termite inspection covers the full scope foundation walls, basement framing, crawl spaces, wood in contact with soil, and any moisture-prone areas that attract subterranean activity. If you’re buying or selling a property in New York City, we also provide the WDI/WDO inspection report required by VA, FHA, HUD, and most conventional lenders. Time-sensitive deals don’t wait, and neither do we.
