Does living in a townhome change what a termite inspection needs to look for? In Abingdon, where attached and closely spaced housing makes up a large share of the market, the answer is yes in a few specific ways. Precision Pest Control performs termite inspections throughout Abingdon for real estate transactions and routine checkups, and we currently take $50 off any termite treatment if activity is found.

Why Attached Homes Need a Careful Look

A termite colony doesn't recognize a property line or a shared wall the way a homeowner does. In a townhome community, activity that starts in one unit's foundation or crawl space can reach an adjoining unit before either owner notices anything from the inside. That's different from a detached single-family home, where activity is more contained to one structure, and it's part of why we treat an inspection in an attached Abingdon community a little differently than one in a standalone house further from Route 40.
