I THOUGHT MY HOME INSPECTOR WAS PERFORMING THIS TEST, AND DIDN'T FIND OUT THAT HE WASN'T UNTIL THE DAY OF THE INSPECTION. I CALLED COOK'S (AT THE INSPECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION), AND THEY WERE ABLE TO SEND SOMEONE TO MY PROSPECTIVE HOME WITHIN THE HOUR, WHILE THE HOME INSPECTOR AND I WERE THERE. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE ALL AROUND.

THE EXTERMINATOR ADVISED US OF HOW TO GET RID OF THE ANTS, BUT HE DID NOT THINK WE NEEDED EXTERMINATION SERVICES. WHEN I ASKED HOW MUCH THE INSPECTION COST, HE SAID, ''A HANDSHAKE AND A SMILE.''

THE REPORT SAID THERE WAS NO TERMITES. ONE WEEK AFTER MOVING IN I HAD TERMITES WALKING ACROSS MY LIVING ROOM. I CALLED THEM AND THEY SAID THAT THEIR INSPECTION IS JUST A SIGHT INSPECTION AND THEY CAN NOT GUARANTEE THEIR RESULTS TO NEW HOME OWNERS.

Response from Cook's Termite & Pest Control
THE INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED IN FEBRUARY, AND THE CUSTOMER MOVED-IN IN APRIL. THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCED TERMITE SWARMERS WHICH COMMONLY SWARM IN MARCH/APRIL AND ARE "DORMANT" IN FEBRUARY. WE RESPONDED TO THE CUSTOMER''S COMPLAINT IMMEDIATELY AND OUR RE-INSPECTION DETERMINED TERMITES SWARMED FROM AN AREA CONCEALED AT THE TIME OF THE INITIAL INSPECTION, AND THE AREA WAS NOTATED ON OUR ORIGINAL REPORT AS BEING INACCESSIBLE/EXCLUDED FROM THE INSPECTION. WE EXPLAINED THE SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS OF THE INSPECTION WHICH THE CUSTOMER WAS PROVIDED A COPY OF PRIOR TO HIS PURCHASE OF THE HOME. INSPECTIONS ARE NOT A WARRANTY NOR ARE THEY A GUARANTEE AS TO THE ABSENSE OF TERMITES. THIS DISCLAIMER IS CLEARLY PRINTED IN RED ON THE REPORT. THE DEPT. OF HUD APPROVED THE LANGUAGE IN THESE REPORTS WHICH INSPECTION COMPANIES ARE MANDATED BY LAW TO USE. WE HAVE NO SAY IN THE LANGUAGE THEY CONTAIN OR THE FACT A GUARANTEE IS PROVIDED THE CUSTOMER OR NOT. WE DISCUSS THIS IN GREATER DETAIL AT WWW.COOKS-TERMITE.CO

THEY PULLED OUT AND REMOVED THE CARPET IN MY HALLWAY, BUT THE REST OF THE CARPET IS STILL THERE STINKING FROM ALL THE WATER DAMAGE. THEY CAME BACK AND SPRAYED WITH GERMOCIDE LATER THAT WEEK BECAUSE OF THE SMELL AND REMOVED THE HALL CARPET AND PAD AT THAT TIME. ON 9-25-02, MR. BOGGS SAID THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE MY CARPET, AND HE EVEN TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD INSTALL TILE FOR ME (IF IT WAS AROUND THE SAME COST) BECAUSE HE FELT SO BAD ABOUT THE DAMAGE. THAT WEEK MY BOYFRIEND AND I SPENT THE WHOLE WEEK GOING OUT TO DIFFERENT TILE PLACES CHECKING ON TILE, I GAVE ROB BOGGS THE ESTIMATE AND HE THEN SAID THEY WEREN'T GOING TO DO THAT AND SAID HE NEVER TOLD ME HE WOULD DO TILE. THEN, NO ONE WOULD CALL ME BACK SO I WOULD CALL ROB BOGGS ON HIS CELL PHONE. HE THEN TOLD ME TO GET ESTIMATES FOR THE CARPET, SO I DID. I TALKED WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THEIR COMPANY, AND THEY WERE ALL VERY RUDE AND ABRASIVE. I WOULD NOT USE THEM AGAIN.
Description of Work: THEY CAME OUT TO DO TREATMENT TO REMOVE TERMITES. SOME OF THE WORK REQUIRED DRILLING INTO CONCRETE AROUND CERTAIN WALLS, AND WHEN DOING THIS THEY BROKE A HOT WATER LINE. MY CARPET WAS DESTROYED AND SOAKED THROUGH. THE MEN WORKING DIDN'T EVEN COME AND TELL ME WHAT HAD HAPPENED, THEY ONLY MENTIONED IT WHEN I ASKED THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THEY SAID THEY WOULD GET A PLUMBER RIGHT AWAY AND CLEAN UP THE FLOOR, AND THEY DID PARTIALLY CLEAN UP THE FLOOR BUT IT WAS STILL SOAKED. THE PLUMBER DIDN'T COME UNTIL MORNING OF THE NEXT DAY AND I HAD TO SPEND THE NIGHT AT A HOTEL. I WAS ABLE TO RETURN HOME THAT DAY BUT DID NOT HAVE HOT WATER UNTIL LATE THAT EVENING AND THERE WAS A HORRIBLE MESS IN MY HOME, THEY DIDN'T CLEAN UP ANY OF THE MESS AT ALL. THEY LEFT EVERYTHING A MESS AND DIDN'T EVEN COMPLETE THE DRILLING. COOK'S TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD RETURN ON MONDAY TO TAKE CARE OF THE REST OF THE DAMAGE.

Response from Cook's Termite & Pest Control
WE DID HIT A WATER LINE WHILE DRILLING THE CONCRETE FLOOR IN THE HALLWAY OF THE BASEMENT. AS A RESULT, APPROX. 2 GALLONS OF WATER LEAKED OUT ONTO THE CARPETING. THE CARPET WAS WET IN AN AREA ROUGHLY 2'' X 3''. COOK''''S CONTRACTED AND PAID THE PLUMBING REPAIRS AND THE CONCRETE REPAIRS TO THE FLOOR TO ACCESS THE WATER PIPE. WE EXTRACTED AS MUCH WATER AS POSSIBLE FROM THE CARPET AND APPLIED A GERMICIDE TO INHIBIT ANY MOLD GROWTH. THE CUSTOMER PRESENTED US WITH AN ESTIMATE FOR NEARLY $4,000.00 TO REPLACE THE CARPETING THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE BASEMENT, EVEN THOUGH ONLY A SMALL AREA IN THE HALL WAS "DAMAGED". THE CUSTOMER REFUSED TO SUBMIT ANYTHING TO SHOW THE ORIGINAL COST, MANUFACTURER NAME, BRAND NAME, ETC. OF THE ORIGINAL CARPET. TO BE TRUTHFUL, WE FELT $4,000 WAS HIGH, CONSIDERING THE ORIGINAL CARPETING WAS OF A MUCH LOWER GRADE. WE ASKED IF WE COULD HIRE OUR OWN CARPET PEOPLE TO GO IN AND GIVE AN ESTIMATE AND THE CUSTOMER REFUSED. THE MATTER WAS SETTLED WITH OUR INSURANCE CARRIER.

OUR VOICEMAIL PICKS UP OUR CALLS WHEN ALL OF OUR LINES ARE BUSY. ALTHOUGH WE TRY TO RETRIEVE THE MESSAGES PROMPTLY, IT IS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO RETRIEVE MESSAGES AND ANSWER INCOMING CALLS, ESPECIALLY IN MARCH, WHICH IS TERMITE SWARM SEASON, AND WE ARE SWAMPED WITH CALLS FROM FRANTIC HOMEOWNERS. WE ARE SORRY IF THE IMPRESSION YOU RECEIVED WAS NEGATIVE. THAT WAS NOT OUR INTENTION, AND WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE WE MAY HAVE CAUSED FOR YOU.
