Quick Overview
What Is a Termite Inspection?
A termite inspection is a visual examination of the readily accessible areas of a property for termites, related wood damage, and conditions that can support activity.
The inspection helps determine which termite may be involved, where evidence is visible, and how much of the property appears affected at the time of the visit. When the evidence allows, it can also help distinguish current activity from older damage.
Moisture, wood-to-soil contact, deteriorated exterior wood, and blocked access are noted because they can affect both the inspection and the recommendation.

What’s Checked
What Our Termite Inspection in Sacramento Covers
We inspect the accessible areas of your property where termite activity and wood damage are most likely to appear, from the foundation and crawlspace to attic framing, exterior trim, attached structures, and interior woodwork. Along the way, we also note moisture issues, wood-to-soil contact, and other conditions that may make the property more vulnerable to termites.
Foundation & Perimeter
We inspect accessible foundation areas and the perimeter of the structure for termite activity, damaged wood, mud tubes, earth-to-wood contact, excess moisture, and other conditions that may contribute to an infestation.
Crawlspace & Underfloor Areas
Where accessible, crawlspaces and underfloor framing are checked for termite activity, damaged wood, moisture concerns, and conditions affecting floor joists, supports, and other structural wood.
Attic, Eaves & Roof Framing
Accessible attic areas, rafters, fascia, eaves, sheathing, and other exposed wood are examined for signs of termites, wood damage, pellets, and previous activity. These are among the areas specifically addressed in California WDO inspection requirements.
Exterior Siding & Trim
Exterior wood, siding, fascia, trim, and other accessible components are checked for visible termite activity, deterioration, and conditions that may expose the structure to wood-destroying pests.
Porches, Patios & Attached Structures
Accessible porches, patios, steps, decks, posts, and other attached areas are checked for termite activity, wood damage, moisture, and wood-to-soil contact.
Interior Wood & Trim
Accessible interior wood around baseboards, trim, windows, doors, and other areas is examined for visible evidence of termite activity or damage.
What a standard inspection can confirm
Visible evidence and accessible conditions present at the time of the visit.
What it cannot confirm
Conditions concealed behind finished walls, flooring, insulation, or blocked areas.

When to Schedule
Signs It’s Time for a Termite Inspection
Certain signs around the property can point to termite activity. An inspection is worth scheduling when you notice changes in the wood, find evidence around the home, or have a specific reason to question what may be happening behind the surface.
01
Discarded Wings
Small, matching wings around windows, doors, or light sources can be left behind after termite swarmers emerge.
02
Termite Pellets
Small piles of hard, sand-like pellets below wood trim, window frames, or other wood surfaces can indicate drywood termite activity.
03
Mud Tubes
Narrow soil-like tubes along foundations, crawlspaces, piers, or other surfaces are a common sign of subterranean termites traveling between the soil and structure.
04
Soft or Damaged Wood
Wood that feels soft, sounds hollow when tapped, breaks easily, or appears unusually damaged may have activity beneath the surface.
05
Live Termite Swarmers
Winged termites appearing indoors or emerging close to the structure are a strong reason to schedule an inspection, even when the swarm disappears quickly.
06
Unexplained Changes in Wood or Trim
Blistering, small openings, recurring deterioration, or changes around wood trim and fascia may have several causes, but they are worth having professionally checked.
Common in Greater Sacramento
Termite Types We Inspect For
Sacramento-area properties can be affected by more than one type of termite, and identifying the type of activity present is an important part of the inspection. We look for the evidence each species leaves behind and where that activity is occurring within or around the structure.
Subterranean Termites
Subterranean termites live in soil and need moisture. Mud tubes and activity near the ground are common clues. Treatment typically focuses on the soil and the points where termites reach the structure.
Drywood Termites
Drywood termites can live inside wood without soil contact. Pellets, discarded wings, or small openings may be visible. Localized findings can be evaluated for targeted treatment, while broader activity may lead to a fumigation recommendation.

Clear Findings Before Work
What a Termite Inspection Should Answer
The inspection should give you enough information to decide what happens next. Work is considered after the termite type, visible evidence, and affected accessible areas have been reviewed.
01
Which termite is involved?
Drywood and subterranean termites live differently and leave different evidence. The termite type changes the treatment conversation.
02
Where is the evidence?
Visible signs and accessible conditions are reviewed to understand where activity appears and which wood or entry points may be involved.
03
What Should Happen Next?
The evidence determines the next step, which may be monitoring, targeted treatment, fumigation, repair, or no immediate work.

Termite Inspection FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Damage by itself does not always mean termites are currently active. During the inspection, we look for live termites, fresh evidence such as mud tubes, pellets or swarm activity, and other signs that help distinguish current activity from previous damage.
We show you where activity or damage was found and explain what should be addressed. If treatment or wood repairs are recommended, Fuller Termite can provide those services and walk you through the appropriate options for the property.
Yes, accessible crawlspaces, underfloor areas, attics, roof framing, eaves, and other accessible structural areas can be included in the inspection. Access conditions at the property determine which areas can be physically inspected.
Yes. We inspect for signs associated with both subterranean and drywood termites, including where the activity is occurring and the evidence left behind. Identifying the termite type is important because treatment recommendations can differ significantly.
No. Fumigation is not automatically recommended whenever termite damage is found. The termite type, location of the activity, and how widespread the infestation appears all help determine the appropriate treatment.
Yes. Previous treatment does not prevent a new inspection. Let us know about any past termite treatments or repairs you are aware of so we can consider that history while evaluating current conditions.
You do not necessarily need to stay with the inspector, but we will need access to the areas being inspected. If you have noticed a specific problem, showing us the area before the inspection begins can also be helpful.
Schedule it as soon as you notice signs such as swarmers, discarded wings, pellets, mud tubes, or unexplained wood damage. Confirming the source early can help you understand the extent of the problem before additional damage occurs.
