Annual Termite Inspection

Pest & Termite  Consultants will be conducting annual termite inspections on Wednesday, September 27, and Thursday, September 28, between the hours of 8 AM and 5 PM.    The inspection is absolutely necessary to ensure that we eradicate these destructive pests and minimize their damage.  Termites can destroy the structural integrity of your home if not detected and properly treated.

The inspector will need access to crawlspaces and garage interiors.

Here is the procedure to get your home inspected:

  • Inspectors will knock on doors during the inspection period, and they will inspect the crawl spaces of those homes as contact is made with each resident.
  • You may schedule your inspection for a particular time by contacting the on-site inspector and setting a time that is convenient for you.  The inspector will be wearing a company uniform (blue trousers and blue shirt with the company name on the shirt).  Company pickup trucks are also blue with the company name on the driver side door and tailgate.
  • You may also schedule a specific time on one of these days by calling Pest & Termite Consultants at 919-870-8003.
  • The inspectors cannot perform a complete inspection of garages if they do not have access to the interior walls.  Please move any boxes about 12-18 inches away from the walls so that this area can be inspected.

Please remember to leave crawl spaces and garage doors open if you will not be present for the inspection.  The inspection cannot be conducted if they do not have access.  We will schedule one more inspection date for the units that are locked during the first inspections.  If your unit is locked for both inspections, you will be required to schedule an inspection at your expense.  Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions, please contact Michelle Johnson at 919-448-5150 or email officemanager@berkeleychapelhill.com.

Maintenance Tips

Can You Find Your HVAC’s Condensation Drainpipe?

A Weathersfield neighbor recently discovered that accumulating dirt and mulch had buried his HVAC system’s condensation drainpipes.  This caused moisture to back up into the duct system in the crawl space.  Normally, the excess moisture our air conditioning units release is removed through the condensation drain pipe that runs from the unit to outside the home’s foundation.  But, if the end of the drain pipe is blocked, this moisture can’t drain away and can back up into the crawl space and even the duct system.  This can create mold and mildew in the crawl space and the home. 

What can you do?  Walk around the foundation of your home.  Look for the drain pipe (2 pipes if you have two HVAC units).  They are usually on the side or back of the house, low to the ground.  Or, ask your HVAC service to locate these pipes during your next HVAC maintenance service.  Keeping those drain pipes clear is simple but important preventive maintenance.
