By combining our local expertise with the industry-leading standards of Termite Depot, we seek to ensure your property remains structurally sound and pest-free.

Our Process

  • Visual Structural Assessment:

    A head-to-toe sweep of the property, including crawlspaces, attics, and baseboards, to identify signs of active infestations.

  • Termite Detection:

    Targeted screening for Subterranean and Drywood termites, looking for mud tubes, discarded wings, and wood damage.

  • Secondary Pest Identification:

     Checking for other wood-hungry invaders like Powderpost beetles and Carpenter ants.

  • Fungi & Wood Rot Analysis:

     Identifying “wet rot” or wood-decaying fungi that can compromise the integrity of your home’s framing.

  • Moisture Level Checks:

    Pinpointing high-moisture areas that act as “invitations” for future pest activity.

  • Official Documentation:

    A professional, easy-to-read report powered by Termite Depot, perfect for real estate closings, VA/FHA loans, or insurance requirements.

  • Treatment Recommendations:

    Clear, actionable advice on remediation steps if any organisms are discovered during the process.
