Termite Inspections

Termite Inspections

Santa Clara & San Mateo Counties

A termite inspection is like a check-up for your home. A thorough inspection of your home will identify areas of termite infestation and problems that may lead to termites, rot, or other damaging conditions.

Finding small problems early will avoid costly damage and repair later.

We work with homeowners, buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals to deliver clear, reliable inspections and reports.

Contact us to Schedule a Termite Inspection

We recommend an inspection every 2 years as part of your regular home maintenance.

If your house hasn’t been checked in a few years or you think you might have termites, contact us today to schedule an appointment.

Termite Inspection Options

Our inspectors look for:

  • Active termite infestations
  • Damage caused by termites or rot
  • Moisture issues and conditions that can lead to future problems
Rot Damage
Termite Frass/Droppings
Termite Mud Tunnels

We have a few options for termite inspections:

Limited Inspections (Free)

If you notice signs of termite activity, we can come in and inspect the specific areas you’re concerned about. This is a partial inspection limited to those areas and does not include exploration of hidden areas (behind drywall, for example), the entire structure or crawlspaces. Limited inspections are free of charge.

Full Inspections

A full inspection covers the entire structure, including the exterior, interior, attic crawlspace, and the sub-area crawlspace. Our state-licensed inspectors aim to thoroughly inspect your home for any signs of termite activity, rot damage, excessive moisture/leaks, and early warning signs of infestation and damage. We provide a written report of our findings along with prices for termite treatment and damage repair.

Full inspections are priced on the square footage of the home.

Competitive Bid Inspections (Free)

Have you already paid for and received a written termite report from another company but want to verify its integrity? We can do a competitive bid termite inspection free of charge. We’ll look at your existing termite inspection and make sure that you’re getting everything you need and nothing you don’t.

Franz Termite control has some of the most professional staff members in the Bay Area and they are very knowledgeable in their craft.
Dominique Warner

Each person was professional, timely and educated me. They were very careful about my light carpet without my asking. They even thanked me several times for leaving the evidence where and as I'd found it so that they knew where to start with their inspection and treatment. I will definitely call them again for any future termite problems in any residence I have.
