Termite inspections timed to San Diego's active real estate market, where escrow deadlines, not homeowner discovery, usually set the schedule.
Call (844) 924-1337California requires a standardized Wood Destroying Pests and Organisms Inspection Report before many home sales and refinances can close, and few California housing markets turn over as steadily as San Diego's, from coastal condos to inland new construction. That means an inspection here is as likely to be triggered by an approaching escrow deadline as by any visible sign of termite activity.
Because San Diego's building stock spans everything from homes near the original mission and presidio grounds to recent inland construction, an inspector has to account for both drywood termites, which need no soil contact at all, and subterranean termites tied to irrigated yards, before a report can be considered complete.

Inspection pricing depends on property size, access, location, and the purpose of the report. Ask what the inspection includes, whether a written report is supplied, and how any inspection fee relates to a separate treatment estimate. Ask directly when you call so there's no surprise.
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. Confirm the inspection scope and whether a written report is included before booking.
Inspection time can vary depending on the property and the areas that need to be checked. Share your home size and access conditions to ask for an estimate of the inspection time.
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.
