Termite concerns can involve concealed areas
For a Lake of the Ozarks property, visible evidence and inspection findings are the basis for discussing termite service. Not seeing termites does not prove they are absent, but it also does not establish a hidden infestation.
Evidence to report
- Mud-like tubes on accessible surfaces.
- Winged insects or shed wings that need identification.
- Changes in wood or building finishes.
- Earlier termite treatment or moisture repairs.
Wood changes, peeling paint or sticking doors may have several causes. Do not diagnose termites from one building symptom or probe damaged structural wood yourself.
Understand inspection limits
Ask which areas were accessible, what the evidence indicates and whether further access or specialist evaluation is needed. A visual inspection does not guarantee discovery of every concealed issue or assess structural soundness.
