Catch Termite Activity Before Damage Worsens

Detailed termite inspections for homes and commercial buildings in Albuquerque.

Termites feed on structural wood hidden inside walls, beneath slab foundations, and within crawl spaces across Albuquerque, and by the time visible damage appears, colonies may have been active for months or years. You need an inspection when buying or selling a home, when preparing for routine maintenance, or when you notice mud tubes, hollow wood, or wing piles that suggest termite activity has already begun.

Clear Zone Pest Control conducts detailed inspections of foundations, crawl spaces, and structural wood, documenting signs of active infestations, previous damage, and conditions that support termite activity in Albuquerque. The inspection includes clear reporting and treatment recommendations, making it easier to address problems early, meet real estate transaction requirements, or confirm that your property remains free of termite colonies.

Schedule a termite inspection with Clear Zone Pest Control to identify activity before structural damage spreads.

What Inspectors Look for and How Findings Are Reported

A technician from Clear Zone Pest Control examines your property in Albuquerque, checking foundations, crawl spaces, attic framing, and accessible structural wood for mud tubes, damaged wood, live termites, and signs of swarming such as discarded wings or frass. The inspection includes both interior and exterior areas, with focus on high-risk zones where moisture, soil contact, or wood-to-ground connections create favorable conditions for termite colonies.

After the inspection, you receive a written report detailing findings, locations of activity or damage, and recommendations for treatment or monitoring. Albuquerque's soil conditions make early identification critical, since subterranean termites build colonies beneath slab foundations where visual detection is difficult until damage reaches interior wood.

The inspection covers documentation and identification of termite activity but does not include treatment, damage repair, or preventative applications. Those services are scheduled separately based on the findings and recommendations provided in the inspection report.

How long does a termite inspection take?
Most residential inspections in Albuquerque take between 45 minutes and 90 minutes, depending on property size, foundation type, and accessibility of crawl spaces or attics. Commercial inspections may take longer based on building complexity and square footage.

Why are slab foundations harder to inspect?
Slab foundations limit access to the soil and wood contact zones where termites enter, making visual detection more difficult until colonies reach interior framing or visible wood surfaces. Inspectors focus on foundation edges, cracks, and utility penetrations where termite activity is most likely.

When should a termite inspection be scheduled?
You should schedule an inspection when buying or selling a home, during routine maintenance every two to three years, or immediately if you notice mud tubes, hollow wood, or swarming termites. Early detection reduces treatment costs and prevents extensive structural damage.

What happens if termites are found during the inspection?
The inspector documents the extent and location of activity, provides treatment recommendations, and explains next steps for eliminating the infestation and protecting your structure. You can schedule treatment separately based on the findings and timeline that works for your property.
