Oregon State is known for its beautiful landscape and vegetation due to the consistently wet conditions. Although Portland Oregon has its many charms, it also provides the ideal environment for wood destroying organisms to infest the structures of homes and buildings. Unfortunately, structural pest infestations are common occurrences, however with regular building inspections, significant damage to your property can be prevented and avoided. Home and business owners in the greater Portland area are admonished to get structural pest inspections roughly every three years to prevent the onset of a wood destroying organism infestation.

Generally, structural pest inspections are affordable and certainly worth the investment. Pest inspections are not required in Orgon pending the sale of a property. Although it is not required by state law, often times lending companies require a pest inspection pending approval. Even if your lending company does not require a structural pest inspection, it is highly encouraged as neglecting to do so can cost you greatly.
