Escrow Termite Inspections
Tier 1 Termite provides professional escrow termite inspections, clear reports, and fast turnaround service for buyers, sellers, real estate agents, and escrow companies.
Professional Escrow Termite Inspections
Escrow termite inspections are an important part of many real estate transactions. At Tier 1 Termite, we help buyers, sellers, real estate agents, and escrow companies identify termite activity, wood damage, and wood-destroying conditions before closing.
Our licensed termite inspectors provide detailed evaluations for residential and commercial properties, helping all parties understand the condition of the structure and any recommended treatment or repair work.
Buyer Inspections
Know the condition of the property before closing with a professional termite inspection and clear written report.
Seller Inspections
Identify termite issues early so repairs, treatment, or negotiations can be handled before delays occur.
Agent Support

Escrow Reports
Our reports help document termite activity, wood damage, treatment needs, and repair recommendations.
Why Escrow Termite Inspections Matter
Termite damage can affect property value, repair negotiations, lender requirements, and closing timelines. Because termites often hide inside walls, attics, crawl spaces, framing, and exterior wood, a professional inspection helps identify problems that may not be visible during a standard home inspection.
- Identify active termite infestations
- Document visible wood damage
- Find drywood and subterranean termite activity
- Help buyers make informed decisions
- Help sellers address issues before closing
- Support real estate and escrow timelines
- Provide treatment and repair recommendations
What Our Escrow Termite Inspection Includes
Tier 1 Termite performs a thorough inspection of accessible areas of the property. Our inspectors look for active termites, previous termite activity, damaged wood, moisture conditions, fungus, and other wood-destroying concerns.
- Interior and exterior accessible areas
- Attics and crawl spaces when accessible
- Garage framing and storage areas
- Foundation areas and exterior wood
- Roofline, eaves, fascia, and trim
- Decks, balconies, fences, and patio covers
- Window frames, door frames, and baseboards
- Signs of termite droppings, mud tubes, swarmers, and damaged wood
Termite Reports For Real Estate Transactions
After the inspection, we provide a clear termite report that outlines our findings and recommendations. The report may include evidence of termite activity, areas of wood damage, treatment recommendations, and repair guidance when needed.
Our goal is to help buyers, sellers, agents, and escrow companies move forward with confidence and avoid unnecessary closing delays.
