Understanding Real Estate Termite Reports in Lake of the Ozarks, MO

Understand what the termite report documents

For a property transaction in Lake of the Ozarks, MO, discuss the requested report with the professionals handling your purchase or sale. Tell Plank Termite & Pest Control the address, deadline and documentation requested before scheduling.

Read the scope as well as the findings

A termite or wood-destroying-insect inspection reports observations within its defined scope and accessible areas. It does not certify structural soundness, rule out concealed damage or guarantee that pests will not occur later. Review access limitations and any recommendations for additional evaluation.

Questions for buyers and sellers

• Which areas were inspected and which were inaccessible?
• What evidence was found, and what needs clarification?
• Is treatment or another assessment recommended?
• What records of previous service are available?
• What documentation or follow-up has the transaction professional requested?

If treatment or repairs are discussed

Ask for the proposed pest-service scope and terms in writing. Have structural damage and repairs assessed by an appropriately qualified building professional. Confirm transaction requirements with the people handling the sale; do not assume every lender or loan uses the same requirements.

Review termite inspection reports, termite treatment and Sentricon information. Ask which service is recommended from the actual findings and which completion records can be provided.
