Are you in need of a VA or NMPA-33 Inspection for your purchase or refinancing?

 

VA Wood Destroying Insect Inspection Report / Termite Inspection

A VA Wood Destroying Insect Inspection Report is usually required for VA loans and refinances. This form, commonly referred to as Form npma-33, is requested by the VA when processing a home loan or refi.

What Does a VA Wood Destroying Insect Inspection Report Include?

A Wood Destroying Insect Inspection Report will include a visual inspection of the readily accessible areas of the structure. The inspection will include all wood destroying insects, including drywood and subterranean termites as well as any fungus or dryrot. There is a nominal fee for this report.

What Happens Next with Form NMPA-33?

A licensed termite inspector will complete the VA Wood Destroying Insect Inspection and go over the inspection with you. The inspector will let you know if there was any visible evidence of wood destroying insects OR if the report was clear of any findings.

Getting Your VA Wood Destroying Insect Inspection Report

Our state report is acceptable as the form NMPA-33. Your report will be typed up and is available to be mailed, faxed or e-mailed directly to you or your loan processor. You can then forward a copy of the report to the appropriate parties.

Drywood Termite Control & Wood Repair Service

Drywood termites feed on dry wood. A drywood colony attacks structural timbers and woodwork of buildings often found in attic framing, wood beams, rafters, siding, fascia, eaves, trims and any other dry wood material in a home.  

This termite inspection revealed drywood termites infesting the wood trim of a manufactured home and the siding of the detached shed.

The termite control work was scheduled and performed in a timely fashion. 

First, the damaged trim was removed from the infested structure during this termite treatment. Second, the wall void was treated with a termiticide by drilling through the exterior siding.
