Termites & Wood-Destroying Insects

Termite Inspection vs. Home Inspection: What's the Difference?

September 24, 2026•By Jesse Pena

A home inspection evaluates accessible systems and components of a property within a broad scope. A termite inspection focuses specifically on signs of wood-destroying insect activity. They are separate services.

Different Scope

A home inspection covers a broad range of accessible systems and components. A termite inspection is narrower — it looks for visible evidence of termites or other wood-destroying insects and conditions conducive to their presence.

Often Requested Together
