Termites and Powder Post Beetles
Wood Destroying Insects volume 1: Termites and Powder Post Beetles
from actual home inspections performed by Best Inspector Network members, of wood destroying insect evidence and damage found during home inspections.
Most books and training manuals will show you a photograph of a problem but, even though it may be an excellent photograph, it is difficult for you to learn from it how to identify the problem in the field. The reason is that most training manuals do not show the problem in its full and proper context. The photo collections in our training CD's walk you through the houses and to the problems. It is as close to being there as you can get. You will get the feel that you have walked into the houses in these photo series and found the problem just as you would have done had you inspected the houses yourself.
This CD will walk you through five houses ranging in age from about 30 years to more than 100 years and a 150 year old church, each invested with either termites, powder post beetles, or carpenter ants. One house in the collection was a home inspectors worst nightmare. It almost had it all; termites, carpenter ants, wood destroying organisms, mice, rats, and a host of other non WDI/WDO problems. About the only thing it didn't have was carpenter bees. These photographs are not annotated. The idea is to give you the most realistic view of the problems possible. Your challenge is to identify and understand the problems that are depicted in the photos. By the time you have finished browsing through the more than 500 photos on this CD, you will never again look at a piece of wood the same way again. You will have an entirely new sense of awareness of termites and powder post beetles and the damage they can do.
Even if you do not do WDI or WDO inspections, your clients expect you as a home inspector to be able to identify damage, understand what caused it, and explain it to them. Many inspectors fail to recognize these problems, especially when the problems are in their infancy. Anyone can recognize major damage after it already exists but it takes a skilled inspector to be able to identify many defects and deficiencies before they actually cause damage or before the damage is visible to the untrained eye. This entertaining and educational series of photos collections will help you develop the skills you need.
A collection of hard to find public domain termite and powder post beetle training and reference manuals and articles.
