WINDSOR — Host, Sarah: When it comes to protecting your home, few steps are more important than having recurrent professional termite inspections. Today we’re in Windsor with Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Brandy Straub of Redwood Empire Termite & Pest Control to learn more.

Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Brandy Straub: The benefit of getting a termite inspection on your home. A lot of people go ahead and get their cars cleaned, take it to a mechanic. They get their teeth cleaned, they do a lot of things, but they neglect their home, especially with the rainy seasons that we’ve had this year. We’ve had an abundance of rain, and a lot of homes get water up underneath the house. Water up underneath the house left untreated or uncured will go ahead and lead to termites, fungus, mildew, mold and other problems in the home. Having a proper termite inspection will help identify these things wrong up underneath the home, as well as things inside the home and around the outside. What we look for is we look for wood-destroying pests, termites, beetles. We also look for fungus, decay and dry rot, water-related problems, leaks, foundations, structural problems, and by having a proper termite inspection we can identify these things and help you save your home, and help you save money in the long run against future problems or damages within the home.
