Why You Need a "Clearance Letter" When Buying a House Featured

What is a "clearance letter"?

In Georgia, the term "clearance letter" is often referred to as the inspection report provided by a pest control company that shows whether or not evidence of wood destroying organisms is present in a given structure. The official title of this inspection report in Georgia is the Official Georgia Wood Infestation Report.

 

Why is a "clearance letter" important?

Many homeowners know how important a traditional home inspection is when it comes to buying a new house. What a lot of homeowners don't know is that most home inspectors aren't qualified to comment on wood destroying organisms like a pest control company is. A qualified pest control company like Sims Pest Control is equipped to identify the presence of wood destroying organisms and prescribe treatment options to eliminate those organisms. We look for things like termites, powder post beetles, and wood decay fungi and we can treat for all of them. 

If you are getting ready to buy a home, don't leave potential wood destroying organism infestations up to chance or to the untrained eye. Call Sims Pest Control when you are ready to schedule your clearance letter inspection.
