New builds and local realtors.
Texas Pride carries out wood destroying insect reports on new builds and is available for work with local realtors. A wood destroying insect report is a formal inspection and a written record of whether a structure shows evidence of termites or other wood destroying insects, and of the conditions around it that would make an infestation more likely. It is the document that generally gets asked for when a property changes hands or when a new build is being signed off, and it is a licensed activity in Texas — the termite category on TPCL #0570706 is what permits it. The inspection is a proper look at the structure: the accessible areas of the building, the foundation and slab edge, the perimeter, and the conditions in the soil and landscaping around it. What goes in the report is what is actually observed, including the conducive conditions that are worth flagging even when there is no active infestation — timber in contact with soil, poor drainage against a foundation, heavy mulch banked against the slab, stored firewood, or previous damage that has been repaired without the cause being dealt with. For a realtor, the value is that this comes from someone who has been inspecting buildings in this county since 2003 and who will be straightforward about what was found. For a builder, catching a conducive condition before the landscaping goes in is far cheaper than dealing with it afterwards.
