Two weeks after I moved into the property, the HOA sent their contractor out to replace the siding as indicated by my home inspection (Done by a different company). Upon removing the siding, a very large termite infestation and significant damage was discovered. I immediately contacted Clegg's about the fact that there were indeed termites, and now they are telling me that their inspection is just an opinion, and even though there are termites in the pictures I sent to them, they are telling me that the damage looks more like water damage than a termite infestation. They are telling me that because the damage was behind the siding, they are not responsible, nor liable.
I was with the inspector when he was at the house, and he didn't poke or even shine a flashlight around in areas where termites might be expected. I am now looking at a huge investment into the structural integrity of my new (old) home. If Clegg's Termite and Pest Control, LLC had done a thorough inspection of the property, like they were paid to do, I definitely would not have purchased the property.
DON"T USE THIS COMPANY!!!
"A thorough inspection of said property was performed on March 18, 2013. There were no visual signs of termites present. As for the pictures she provides, it cannot be determined whether it is termite or water damage and this was only found after siding was removed. The following is a quote from the official “ North Carolina Wood destroying insect report” “this report specifically excludes hidden areas and areas not readily accessible. This is not a warranty as to the total absence of wood destroying insects or damage from same. The inspection described herein was made on the basis of visible evidence.”"
We kept up the annual inspection for termites. Last summer I saw tubes on the side of the foundation and called for them to inspect. After two weeks I still had not heard from the field person so I called again. Another order was placed which also did not seem to take. The third call triggered apologies because the field person had been out sick... A different field person did schedule to come out and said it was just mud wasps. A couple of weeks later the first field person finally called to set up an appointment to come inspect. Apparently the inspection brought us to their attention because a couple of weeks later we received a letter informing us that our maintenance contract was going to expire "as per the original five year proposal" unless we arranged to have a new preventative treatment done. It had been 10 years and nine months since the first treatment. We hired a different company that had been (justly) well rated on Angie's list.
The company sent me a bill I called them and spoke to a woman I explained that I was not going to pay for the last service
because the guy never even got out of the truck. She indicated that she would have a supervisor call me. He never did. Months went buy and I got a notice about the bill being over due. I called again explained what happen to the operator she said that a supervisor would call me. No one ever called in the meantime I was getting notices about the over due bill. I called again the operator told me i should probably just pay it because in their records they had performed the duty... Well of course they did they had a guy sitting in the truck filling out the paperwork but not doing the service. I later found out one of my neighbors had a similar experience.
It eventually went to a collection agency and I filed a bogus charge with my credit report company because. I refused to pay for a service I did not receive.
Not sure of how thing would have gone if we had a bad infestation that needed repairs (my warranty had expired due to the confusion), but things turned out very well and I am very appreciative of their responsiveness.
