These posts were located in a crawl space in an older home. The posts themselves serve no purpose other than keeping the floors from squeaking. The problem here is they were placed directly on the dirt floor of the crawl space. The mud you see at the top is termite tubes. This termite activity extended into the upper floor and walls. This house was inspected by a home inspector and exterminator only 4 years ago. The only problem was no one went into the crawl space. The current seller now has to have the home treated to the tune of $1500.00 plus the cost of repairs to the floor above. Space permitting, we enter every crawl space. Don't let this happen to you, have that home inspected and be ABSOLUTE-ly sure.

This house is located in Southampton, NJ

This floor joist is located in the same house. It was pulled apart by hand. The damage is so extensive in this

basement that all of the beams and joist will need to be replaced to make this house safe.

This home is 200 years old. These insects have been quietly eating this house for 200 years. The damage is so extensive it will require a structural engineer to design the repairs.
