Hello,

Is it usually possible to get an accurate estimate of the cost of
repairing
termite damage? I am asking, because I am considering buying a house with
a
certain amount of termite damage. However, I fail to see how a home
inspector can really know what the costs will be to repair said damage. He
doesn't have x-ray vision ... how can anyone really know what it will cost
once the termites start chewing up the wood? I am talking about complete
repair costs (frame work, drywall work, flooring, etc). Any help on this
would be appreciated. I'm also wondering if there is some sort of a
"checklist" out there for what home buyers should know with regard to
termites, termite damage, and preventative termite protection when looking
at a home for sale.

TIA
