It is good to be with some other Pest Control owners in NC for a Board of Directors meeting and for the “United We Stand” meeting. Looking forward to a great meeting with my peers. #pestcontrol #raleighpestcontrol
Someone forgot to tell the siding guy to stop! Foundation vents are typically 9-10” tall. This one has been almost covered up by the last course of siding and is only exposed about 2-3” which greatly reduces amount of possible air flow. #construction #homeinspection #raleighhomeinspector #realestateinspection #moreosnotbetter #crawlspaces #whatsinyourcrawlspace
It’s time for a new week! Hope everyone has a great week. Go out and change the world! #sunrise #timetogotowork #bringhomethebacon #greatweek #greatweekahead
Termite tubes noted in a crawlspace that was just checked by another company in September. I don’t know if they missed it or the termites have built the tubes during that time. Termites can’t do a huge amount of damage during that short time period but can move in quickly. #whatsinyourcrawlspace #termites #termitetubes #termitetreatment #raleightermites #pestcontrol let us help if you need to know #whatsinyourcrawlspace
We see this a lot on older homes. The main girder for the house, which carries the weight of the floor system are typically comprised of two or three 2” X 10”s nailed together. The issue is where the splice for the boards occur should be over a pier so both ends are supported. When not, as you can see here, the support is weak and begins to drop over time. This contributes to unevenness of the floor. #whatsinyourcrawlspace #floorconstruction #generalcontracting #Unevenfloors #homeinspection #raleighhomeinspector #realestateinspection
This is one of the most extreme cases of wood decay fungi I have ever seen in a house that has not been abandoned. This house is inside the beltline of Raleigh and has a tax value of over a half a million dollars. The entire first floor structure will probably have to be replaced. The kitchen floor has at least 6-7 broken floor joists. In its current state it is not safe to live in. #whatsinyourcrawlspace #crawlspacenightmare #moistureincrawlspace #crawlspaceissues #crawlspace #structuraldamage #highmoisture #wooddecayfungi #homeinspection #crawlspaces
Don’t think this “structural support” is doing very much, do you? #whatsinyourcrawlspace #realestateinspection #homeinspection #raleighhomeinspector
Fire ants are starting to try to find warmer areas for the winter here in NC. This colonly has built a nest next to a slab foundation which holds heat on a cold day. #pestcontrol #raleighpestcontrol #ants #fireants #insects #bugs
House centipedes are so creepy looking. This one is moving awful slow. #whatsinyourcrawlspace #pestcontrol #raleighpestcontrol #exterminator
