Real Estate Pest Inspection VS. Home Inspection
Once a home goes under contract; whether you’re buying or selling, the offer is contingent on the home inspection.
Home inspectors are looking for hazards such as faulty wiring, out-of-code additions, safety issues, or structural defects. However, when it comes to pests—what they look for is very limited. In fact, they really only mainly look for evidence of termites. Now, a home inspector may report red flags that also indicate the presence of pests such as termites. Although, even then, it’s just about wood rot or moisture, and then they’ll suggest a specialist look into it further. In other words, they’ll defer it to a Houston real estate pest inspection expert. However, if there is no clear sign of rot or moisture, they likely won’t even bring up pest inspection at all.
