What You Need to Know About Termite Damage
Are you seeing signs of termites in your home? These silent destroyers cause between CAD 1.39 billion to CAD 2.79 billion in property damage every year. Let’s help you understand what you’re dealing with.
Warning Signs That Scream “TERMITES!”
Want to know if termites are eating away at your home? Here are the tell-tale signs to watch for:
- Wood sounds hollow when you tap it
- Mud tubes running along walls
- Sawdust-like droppings (that’s termite frass!)
- Wings scattered near doors and windows
- Doors and windows suddenly stick
- Strange clicking sounds in your walls
- Paint bubbling or peeling off
You might also spot warped floors, sagging ceilings, or weird maze patterns in wood. Don’t wait until you see major damage – these signs are your early warning system!
How Bad Is Your Termite Problem?
Here’s the truth – termites are sneaky. They work from inside out, making it hard to spot all the damage. These pests tunnel through your wood, attacking support beams and floor joists.
Want to know where termites love to hide? Check these spots:
- Your basement and foundation
- Around windows and door frames
- Inside your walls
- Under your floors
What looks like a small problem on the surface? It could be hiding MAJOR damage underneath.
What This Means For Your Home’s Value

The Legal Side of Selling a Termite-Damaged House
Worried about legal requirements when selling your termite-damaged home? Let’s make this simple and clear for you.
Must I Tell Buyers About Termite Problems?
Here’s the straight answer: YES. Termite damage qualifies as a latent defect – that means it’s a hidden problem that could make your home unsafe. The law says you MUST tell buyers about:
- Current termite problems
- Past infestations
- Previous treatments
- Any related repairs
Even if you’re selling without an agent, you still need to disclose everything. And yes, you must tell buyers about past termite issues, even after they’re fixed.
What Papers Do You Need?
Keep yourself protected! Here’s every document you’ll need:
- Fresh termite inspection reports
- All treatment records and receipts
- Repair documentation
- Valid warranties you can transfer
- Professional assessments
- Clearance papers
These papers show buyers you’ve handled the problem right. They’re your protection against future headaches!
Staying Safe Legally
Here’s something scary – buyers can sue you if you don’t disclose termite issues. They could demand money for:
- Repair costs
- Lost home value
- Legal fees
And here’s the important part – even in an “as-is” sale, you MUST tell buyers about termite damage.
Want to avoid legal troubles? We understand Alberta’s unique challenges – from Calgary’s Chinooks to Edmonton’s freeze-thaw cycles that can make termite damage worse.
Feeling overwhelmed by all these legal requirements? We’ve got GOOD NEWS! Our cash buying process handles ALL the paperwork. From documentation to legal compliance, we take care of everything.
Give us a call NOW at (403) 879-7935! We’ll guide you through the process and make sure everything’s done right. No surprises, no legal worries – just a fair, fast cash offer for your house.

Here’s what you need to know about inspections and treatments:
- Inspection costs: between CAD 139.34 to CAD 209.00
- Treatment choices:
- Soil barrier treatments

For smaller treatments, expect to pay CAD 307.93 to CAD 1,209.44 per linear foot. Want extra peace of mind? A transferable termite bond helps during negotiations.
Fix It Up or Sell As-Is?
Here’s the big question I hear from homeowners – should you repair the damage or sell as-is? Let’s look at your options:
Repair costs typically run between CAD 696.68 to CAD 8,360.16 and include:
- New support beam installation
- Structural reinforcement
- Cosmetic repairs
- Fresh insulation
But here’s something many don’t consider – Alberta’s winter weather can delay repairs for months. That’s why many homeowners choose our cash buying option instead. No repair headaches, no waiting on contractors.
