About this file
This is an Annual Termite Inspection Report conducted by Palmetto Exterminators for the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources at the Gate House facility located at 217 Fort Johnson Road, Charleston, South Carolina 29412. The inspection was completed on August 1, 2025, for coverage year 2025-2026 under Agreement Code S96R07. The facility was inspected for all species of subterranean termites, including Formosan termites. The inspection revealed no visible evidence of active termite activity or current damage; however, evidence of previous termite activity was documented, including previously scraped termite mud tubes visible on the foundation in the crawlspace. Inspector Scott Sharp noted that the structure has wood in contact with the ground, which requires monitoring over time due to deterioration risks, and identified overgrown vegetation that needs trimming back at least one foot from the structure. The crawlspace inspection determined that certain areas were inaccessible, including areas under exterior porches and ramps and the left side of the crawlspace due to AC ductwork. The interior was not accessible for inspection during this visit. Inspection conditions were sunny with a temperature of 85 degrees Fahrenheit at 7:44 a.m., and a property manager was present during the inspection.
The report documents several maintenance recommendations requiring evaluation by licensed contractors, including wood-destroying fungi damage assessment and paint or caulking evaluation prior to the next inspection. The facility has a crawlspace with batt insulation, adequate ground clearance in most areas, no moisture barrier covering the soil, and no evidence of crawlspace moisture problems, fungi damage, plumbing leaks, or standing water. No treatments were administered during this inspection, and no bait stations were monitored. Contact information for the account holder is listed as perryl@dnr.sc.gov with phone number 843-953-9337, and Palmetto Exterminators provided multiple branch office locations throughout South Carolina and Charlotte, North Carolina for service inquiries.
