Termite inspections for Globe home sales, where older mining era construction and Arizona's two termite types both call for a careful look.
Call (844) 924-1337Globe inspections have more to account for than the usual statewide split between drywood and subterranean termites. Much of the town's housing sits near a historic downtown dating close to 1875, the year of the silver nugget discovery the town is named for, and buildings that old often carry decades of prior repairs, additions, and replaced lumber that can mask activity a newer home simply wouldn't have.
A small older home near downtown and a newer property farther out both need the same two-species coverage, just weighted differently given each building's age. That distinction matters in a town like Globe, where buyers often already know roughly how old a property is before they ever walk through the door.

Generally, a visual walkthrough of accessible areas most prone to termite activity, such as the foundation, crawl space, attic, and exterior wood, checking for live termites, mud tubes, damaged wood, and moisture or soil-contact conditions that attract them. Exact scope and whether you get a written report depends on the provider.
Most inspections take somewhere between thirty minutes and a couple of hours, depending on the size and accessibility of the property. A provider can give you a more specific estimate based on your home.
You can watch for obvious signs like mud tubes or discarded wings, but termites are often active in places that are hard to see or reach, like inside walls or under a foundation. A professional inspection is more likely to catch activity early, which matters given how much damage termites can cause if it goes unnoticed.
