Termite Inspection in Alexandria
Kisatchie Timber Defense — Termite Inspection services in Alexandria
A termite inspection is a walk of the house, inside and out, looking for the signs that termites are working on it or have already been. We do this for homeowners who've seen something that worried them, and for people buying a house who need to know what's underneath it before they sign.
Which ones you get here
- Real estate inspection (WDI report): Tied to a closing date, needs access to every point the form requires, and ends in a signed report instead of just a conversation.
- Renewal check on an existing system: We're confirming bait stations or treated zones are still doing their job, not starting from zero on the house.
- Concern inspection after a sighting: Started by wings on a windowsill or a soft spot somebody found, so we go straight to that area first and work outward.
- Pre-renovation inspection: Done before walls or flooring get opened up, so a contractor isn't the one who finds the damage.
What termite inspection involves
- Exterior perimeter walk: We go around the foundation, piers, and slab edge looking for mud tubes and any wood touching the soil.
- Crawl space and sub-floor check: On a raised house we get under it and check the sills, joists, and pier caps where termites travel unseen.
- Interior and attic check: Baseboards, window and door frames, and attic framing get checked by hand and with a moisture meter where wood looks suspect.
- Findings and report: We write down what we found, where, and what's feeding it — standing water, mulch against the siding, that kind of thing.
When you need it
- Wings scattered on a windowsill or caught in a spiderweb the morning after a warm evening.
- A mud tube running up a pier, foundation wall, or porch post.
- A baseboard or window frame that sounds hollow or gives when you press it.
- Paint on a wall or door frame that looks bubbled or slightly sunken.
What changes the job
A slab house and a raised house on piers get inspected differently — one means crawling underneath, the other means checking what the slab edge is hiding. Older houses in town often have additions and repairs layered over the years, and skirting or brick veneer can hide the exact spot where wood meets soil. What slows an inspection down is usually access: furniture against baseboards, stored boxes in the crawl space, a hatch that hasn't been opened in years.
