Termite Inspection You Can Count On

When you request a termite inspection with us, we start by finding a time that fits your schedule. We offer quick scheduling, including same-day appointments when available, and our team is reachable 24 hours a day for urgent concerns. Our goal is to have an inspector at your property as soon as reasonably possible, so you are not left wondering.

On the day of your visit, a State Licensed Inspector arrives on time, introduces themselves, and listens to your concerns. We ask where you have seen activity, such as droppings, swarmer wings, or soft wood. Then we begin a methodical visual inspection of accessible areas, including interior rooms, the garage, the attic, the exterior siding, the eaves, and any accessible crawlspaces.

During the inspection, we look for signs such as shelter tubes, frass, damaged or hollow-sounding wood, staining, and entry points around utility penetrations. When conditions allow, we may gently probe suspect areas to determine whether the wood has been weakened. Our inspectors work carefully to respect your home, and we keep you informed about what we are seeing as we go.

We also pay special attention to features common in this region, such as wooden patio covers, fence lines that attach to the house, or structural supports that touch the soil. These can act as bridges for subterranean termites. In the attic, we examine rafters, trusses, and sheathing where drywood termites often establish colonies.

As we move through your property, we document our findings with notes and photos. At the end of the visit, we sit down with you to review what we saw. You see the same pictures we took, along with simple explanations of what each sign means. If we find evidence of termites or conditions that increase the likelihood of an infestation, we explain that clearly and answer your questions.

Your written findings outline any active infestations, areas of previous activity, and conditions that can increase risk. If treatment is recommended, we talk through different approaches and how they would apply to your home. Because the inspection is free and there is no obligation, you have time to think about your options. We do not believe in high-pressure sales tactics, and we do not suggest services that you do not need.
