Why termite inspection matters in Los Angeles
Drywood termites (Incisitermes minor) are essentially universal in older LA framing — particularly anything within 15 miles of the coast and most pre-1980 housing inland. Activity in attic framing, exterior eaves, and visible structural members is the norm rather than the exception. A perfectly clean Section 1 on an older LA home is unusual.
Most California lenders require a Section 1-clear termite report before funding. Lenders understand the coastal LA reality, but they still want documented treatment of active findings. We coordinate with treatment vendors and escrow officers to issue clearance documentation when remediation is verified complete.
Every termite inspection in Los Angeles covers:
- Subterranean termite activity (Reticulitermes, Heterotermes)
- Drywood termite activity (Incisitermes minor)
- Wood-destroying fungi and dry rot
- Wood-destroying beetles
- Conducive conditions (moisture, earth-wood contact, leaks)
- Section 1 (active infestations / damage) findings
- Section 2 (conducive conditions) findings
- Diagram, photo documentation, and clearance language
