Termite damage builds quietly for years before it's visible — our Somonauk, IL inspectors know exactly where to look first. Because termite damage typically isn't covered by standard insurance, catching it early is the only real safeguard.
Inspection documentation is formatted for lenders, not just a verbal summary of what was found.
We move fast on visible swarm or mud-tube reports, since waiting rarely shrinks the problem.
Foundation perimeter measurements set the price, given to you before treatment starts. We maintain a running record of every station check, which we can share whenever you'd like to review it.
Borate treatments and termiticide injection rods, not a surface spray that only repels rather than eliminates. We also carry backup moisture meters, since accurate readings separate a real diagnosis from a guess.
Worker termites carry the termiticide back to the colony, which is the point of a full perimeter trench.
Useful where trenching isn't practical — ongoing monitoring catches activity before it becomes structural.
Drywood activity doesn't touch soil, so treatment targets the specific members showing frass or kick-out holes.
We can turn around official wood-destroying organism reports fast for a closing deadline.
We assess joists, sill plates, and subfloor before connecting you with repair contractors. Moisture-prone crawl spaces are checked closely, since that's frequently where subterranean activity shows up before it's visible elsewhere.
New construction gets a termite barrier in place before the concrete goes down, not after. It's worth scheduling an annual re-inspection even after treatment, since grading changes can develop over time.
Tell us what you're seeing — mud tubes, swarmers, frass, damaged wood — so we send the right inspector and gear.
We inspect thoroughly, not just a visual walk-through — moisture readings catch what the eye misses.
You get a complete record, including photos of any mud tubes or damage found on-site.
Treatment is scheduled with a written warranty term, plus a monitoring schedule if bait stations go in.
Found mud tubes behind our water heater during a routine check — caught it before it reached the framing.
Needed a WDO report fast for a closing deadline. Had it in my inbox the same day as the inspection.
Bait stations checked every quarter for two years straight. No surprises, no missed visits.
They found drywood termites in a rafter we'd never have checked ourselves. Saved us a much bigger repair.
Refinancing required a current WDO report and ours had expired. They got an inspector out within two days to meet the lender deadline.
We serve Somonauk and nearby communities, moving fastest for active infestations and time-sensitive real estate inspections. Older Somonauk neighborhoods with mature tree cover tend to carry higher subterranean termite pressure, which shapes inspection priority. Soil conditions shift termite activity year to year, which is part of why we adjust inspection focus based on recent regional weather patterns.
Subterranean colonies live in soil and travel via mud tubes; drywood colonies live entirely inside dry wood, no soil contact needed. We're glad to walk through the difference between preventive and curative treatment options during the initial inspection call.
Priced by linear foot of foundation and treatment type — we give an exact written quote after inspection, not a phone estimate.
Most lenders require a current WDO report — we can turn documentation around fast to meet a closing deadline.
Non-repellent barriers typically carry a multi-year warranty, with annual re-inspection recommended.
DIY treatment often scatters the colony instead of killing it, making the eventual professional job harder. We can also advise on landscaping changes — mulch placement, irrigation adjustments — that reduce moisture conditions termites favor.
Swarmers are reproductive termites leaving a mature colony to start new ones — a swarm usually means an established colony nearby. We recommend a yearly check-in since soil grading and mulch buildup change year to year.
A documented inspection today costs less than structural repair later.
