If a termite inspection during a home sale shows no termites can the inspector be held liable if they are found after the close?

Yes, but I believe it would be the responsibility of the buyer to prove that the termite infestation did not occur after the inspection since the burden of poof cannot, in a democratic court, rest on the defendant.

I don't know exactly how to determine, in a legal sense, that the inspector has indeed messed up. Given a capable lawyer and sufficient knowledge of termites... there is probably some way to bring justice in such a case. On the other hand, if the inspector has some kind of business skills he would most certainly have insurance for his services and an agreement should be in the intrest of both parties as a legal process is never any fun and would inpact negatively on the reputation of the inspectors business, regardles of it's outcome.

Also, termites make very nice pets and help keep the house warm.

Is there a type of termite that can eat through steel?

No

----------------------------------------------------------

I am no entomological expert, but I can say with some confidence that no such species exists. Termites eat through wood because it is high in cellulose, in fact they will eat almost anything high in cellulose (one of the few animal species that can process raw cellulose).

The termites themselves do not process the cellulose, though. They have symbiont protozoans in their hindgut that do this for them, so they survive through a symbiotic relationship with these gut protozoans.

As a species, termites are defined by this dependence on cellulose. So, if an insect species was found to eat steel, it would most likely not be classified as a termite. Steel does not contain cellulose.

Does insurance cover damages from a termite infestation?

Homeowners Insurance and TermitesMost homeowners insurance policies do not cover termite infestations, However there may be coverage for resulting damage to the structure once the infestation has been addressed, depending on the type and scope of coverage you purchased. You would need to have the termite situation resolved by a professional pest control company before your insurance company would respond to any structural damages resulting from the infestation.

Pest control is considered part of a homeowners expected and usual maintenance routine.

Pest control service companies offer "service warranties" to their clients that have regular corrective or preventative treatments performed to the structure. There is usually an upfront charge for the initial service to correct or prevent infestation and then there is an annual fee to keep the service warranty in place. There are different types of service warranties offered by different pest control companies. One type offers re-treatment only, another offers treatment and repair of damages should infestation occur or re-occur. These service warranties are subject to several terms and conditions.
