The infestation needs to be located
Localized work depends on finding and reaching affected wood. The inspector should explain what is visible, what is concealed, and how that affects confidence in a spot approach.
Understand the access
Wood injection or another labeled localized method can require access holes and preparation. Discuss finishes and original decorative wood before approving work.
Know the limits
Ask what happens if signs appear elsewhere. A localized proposal should not be described as whole-building protection unless the agreement expressly provides that coverage.
