Section One/Section Two - definitions

I get a lot of phone calls from people who are not familiar with termite reports, asking what is Section One? What is Section Two? Those are very valid questions. If I didn't work in the termite business, I would be just as confused as others. I don't know why they call it Seciton One or Two, but I can surely give you the meanings of them.

Section One - is an active infection or infestation of the wood. Which means something that is actively destroying the wood. For example....fungus, dry rot, termites. beetles.

Section Two - are conditions which could lead to a section one item. For example, water damaged wood (which is section two), if not corrected, could lead to fungus damage (AKA dry rot). Other common section two items are: plumbing leaks, earth to wood contacts, missing caulking, moisture condtions.

When in doubt, always get clarification from a professional in the industry. Termite reports can be very confusing. With a good company working for you and your clients, it makes things a lot easier.
