Commercial Property Inspection and Termite Inspection Performed at the Same Time.
We understand that coordinating inspections on commercial properties is often difficult because of because of tenant occupancy. To eliminate the need for multiple visits, NBI is able to perform both the property and the termite inspections at the same time. Therefore a 24-hour tenant notice only needs to be given once for us to complete our inspections.
