What does a plumbing leak have to do with termites?
With a plumbing leak comes excessive moisture conditions. Wood members with a high moisture content are an ideal habitat for wood-destroying organisms. Costly fungus damage in the vicinity of a plumbing leak is very common and for the most part avoidable. A close examination of these areas by a trained inspector could reveal a leak in its early stages and prevent the high cost of fungus damage repair.
