East Wenatchee Home Inspector finds Termites!

While performing a home and pest inspection in East Wenatchee home I came upon a colony of subterranean termites. As a pest inspector I always enjoy the finding of causes of an issue I notice during the home inspection. This is not always the case.

During the inspection while evaluating the front room of the home I was aware of some sponginess in part of the floor. I suspected some type of structural damage but was unsure of the cause. You have to make notes of areas of concern to make sure to evaluate that area thoroughly from all possible sides.

It is now time to enter crawlspace. I snake my way through the cobwebs and debris in a sweeping manner I always use to inspect all locations that I can safely get to. I sound the wood as I go to test for integrity of the wood. I arrive at the area that I noted from the front room inspection. At the floor joist I notice what appears to be a termite mud tub. I get a little closer and confirm my observation. I then strike the joist and part of it fall away leaves a few wiggling insects that look like grains of rice.

Once you find termites its best to take your time and find a good pest control operator. You can get information from the National Pest Management Association on a local Pest control operator. Termites take a while to do the damage so a day, week or even a month is not going to change much in terms of the damage.

When ordering a home inspection you should always include a pest inspection. The difference in the cost is minimal to the inspection you will receive.

I last reported on the homes for sale and sold activity in the Briarwood subdivision in East Wenatchee in early August of last year. Briarwood is one of the most popular neighborhoods in East Wenatchee and homes sell fairly quickly there. Last year homes sold within 30 - 150 days from the listing date. Generally speaking, the higher the price the longer the days-on-market period.

Just as a point of interest, for the homes listed with "Briarwood" street addresses, the higher the number, the higher the elevation and the better the view. Briarwood runs from west to east up the hill. The other streets (Holly, Hannah, Huntwood, Harrington and Clarissa) mostly run north and south and views are not as prominent.





Here is a list of the 3 current active listings of homes for sale in Briarwood subdivision:
825 Briarwood $519,900 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms 4030 square feet
800 Briarwood $539,900 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms 3434 square feet
