Need a Commercial Termite Inspection in Tempe?

City Wide Pest Control delivers a commercial termite inspection in Tempe, with findings written up clearly for owners and managers.

Commercial Termite Inspections for Tempe Properties

A termite inspection is a smart step whenever a commercial building changes hands, gets a new tenant, or simply needs a checkup. Larger footprints, long plumbing runs and many utility entry points give subterranean termites more ways in than a typical house offers, and they stay active in the Valley year-round. A commercial property termite inspection in Tempe gives you a written record you can rely on.
City Wide has more than 40 years of service and holds contracts with State, County and City buildings. Our technicians and office staff are licensed by the Arizona Department of Agriculture, Pest Management Division.

Why Building Owners Schedule Inspections

Termites stay active through the desert’s mild winters, so there is no off season for checking. Slab foundations, irrigated landscaping and pipes passing through walls can all give a colony a path inside. Early signs are easy to miss in a busy building, since staff are focused on the business.
A written inspection record helps with lender paperwork, sets a starting point for lease terms, backs up insurance claims, and lets you catch activity early, while it is still a small repair.

Inspecting Commercial Buildings Around Tempe

Tempe’s building stock has some age to it. About 36 percent of the city’s 91,442 housing units (32,952) were built before 1980, only about 15.5 percent were built in 2010 or later, and the median unit dates to 1986. Older construction is worth a close look for termite entry points, and a written inspection gives owners a clear starting point.
The commercial side is just as varied. The 320-acre ASU Research Park has three lakes covering 18 surface acres, Discovery Business Campus at Elliot Road and Loop 101 is a 135-acre park planned for about 2.5 million square feet of office and light industrial space, and more than 40,000 people work at the businesses around Tempe Town Lake. During every visit we also note landscaping and water features beside the building.

How We Inspect Commercial Properties

Step 1
Exterior Assessment
We walk the full exterior, checking foundation, stem walls, expansion joints, pipe and utility entries, and nearby landscaping.
Step 2
Interior Inspection
Inside, we check every reachable area, from lobbies and tenant suites to mechanical rooms, restrooms, kitchens and storerooms.
Step 3
Structural and Crawl Space Assessment
Attics, crawl spaces and framing get a look wherever we can reach them, checking for current or past activity.
Step 4
Detailed Written Report
You receive a written report on live activity, earlier treatment, conditions that invite termites, and our recommendations.
Step 5
WDIIR: report on wood destroying insects
When a sale or loan calls for it, we supply the standard WDIIR format that lenders and title companies expect. Commercial brokers and inspection firms also hire us directly to cover the wood destroying insect section of their own due diligence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does building age in Tempe affect how I should schedule inspections?
Age is worth considering. About 36 percent of Tempe’s 91,442 housing units were built before 1980, and the median unit dates to 1986. Older construction has had more years for slabs, plumbing and landscaping to change. We still suggest a yearly inspection for commercial buildings, and we tailor each visit to the property.
Yes. The lake runs more than 2 miles from west of McClintock Road to east of Priest Road, and more than 40,000 people work at the businesses around it. We inspect commercial buildings in that area, checking the exterior, the reachable interior spaces and the landscaping beside each structure.
Yes. Tempe lists employers such as Arizona State University, State Farm and Salt River Project among its largest, and the 135-acre Discovery Business Campus at Elliot Road and Loop 101 is planned for about 2.5 million square feet of office and light industrial space. We inspect commercial buildings of those kinds, and same-day service is available.
We suggest one professional termite inspection each year for every commercial building. Add another when you buy, sell, refinance or negotiate a lease, and before renovation work. A steady schedule keeps your records current, helps protect the building’s value, and catches activity while repairs are still modest.
We walk the exterior first, checking foundation, stem walls, expansion joints and utility entries. Then we go through reachable interior spaces, attics and crawl areas, looking for live activity, earlier treatment, damage and conditions that invite termites. You receive a written report with our findings and recommendations.
