Professional Termite Inspections in Lake Forest, CA – Termite Science, Inc..

A termite problem can develop silently and cause thousands in structural damage before it's visible. At Termite Science, Inc.., our licensed inspectors offer thorough, non-invasive termite inspections throughout Lake Forest, CA. Whether you're a homeowner, real estate professional, or property manager, our inspections help catch termite activity early—before major repairs are needed.

What to Expect from a Termite Inspection

Our inspections are detailed, efficient, and designed to give you peace of mind. We begin by examining both the interior and exterior of your home, focusing on high-risk areas like attics, baseboards, crawlspaces, wood siding, and around the foundation. If we detect signs of termites—such as frass, hollow-sounding wood, or mud tubes—we document them thoroughly.

Every client receives a digital report that includes photos, activity severity, and personalized treatment recommendations, if needed.

Real Estate Termite Reports & Clearance Letters

If you're buying or selling a home in Lake Forest, a termite inspection is often required during escrow. We offer fast, reliable WDO (Wood-Destroying Organism) inspections and provide the official documentation needed by lenders and agents. Our quick turnaround helps facilitate closings and protect all parties involved in the transaction.

Early Termite Detection Saves Thousands

Annual termite inspections are a low-cost investment that can prevent expensive structural repairs. When termites are caught early, they can often be treated locally—avoiding the need for fumigation. Ignoring an infestation, however, can result in damage to beams, subfloors, and drywall. A yearly inspection can be the difference between a quick fix and a full renovation.
