Some companies say they also warranty termite damage isn that a better deal?
Many consumer advocates recommend that you read warranty contracts very carefully, because there may be clauses or conditions that may make what appears on the surface to be a great deal, in reality, not so great a deal after all. For example, in examining these types of warranties, you may find that they actually EXCLUDE “hidden” termite damage. Because termites typically consume structures from the inside out, it is not only possible, but highly probable that damage will be hidden (inside wall voids, inside joists and beams, behind wall paper, behind appliances, under carpet, behind wood trim, and even in some cases, under paint!), and therefore, may be ineligible for repair under the warranty terms.
