Generated explanation

Six schematic details illustrate interior inspection locations and potential entry routes for subterranean termites. Dashed arrows trace routes through or along brick, hollow-block, and stone foundation assemblies toward wood floor framing. Another detail shows termites approaching the base of a wood support post at the basement floor and footing. A basement stair detail identifies wood blocking beneath stairs that pass through the basement floor as another inspection location. The drawings emphasize concealed access at masonry cavities, floor penetrations, and wood-to-foundation interfaces rather than showing specific visible wood damage.
