Termite damage builds quietly for years before it's visible — our Grosse Pointe Woods, MI 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.
Our inspectors carry state wood-destroying organism licensing and produce reports accepted for real estate closings.
Swarms and mud tubes jump the queue — active colonies cause damage every day they're left untreated.
You'll see the full cost tied to actual foundation length, not a phone-quote guess. We maintain a running record of every station check, which we can share whenever you'd like to review it.
Non-repellent liquid barriers, in-ground bait stations, moisture meters, and acoustic detection tools. 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.
Localized injection, and structural fumigation when needed, for colonies living inside the wood itself.
Licensed documentation formatted to lender and closing timelines, delivered when your transaction needs it.
Photos and moisture readings document structural damage so you know the scope before repairs start. 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. A yearly check-in catches soil grading or mulch buildup around a foundation before it becomes a new pathway.
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.
Every job closes with a documented warranty and, where relevant, a station-check calendar.
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 Grosse Pointe Woods and nearby communities, moving fastest for active infestations and time-sensitive real estate inspections. We factor in soil conditions and tree cover across Grosse Pointe Woods when scheduling routine versus priority inspections. 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. If you're unsure whether you need prevention or active treatment, we'll help you figure out which situation actually applies.
Priced by linear foot of foundation and treatment type — we give an exact written quote after inspection, not a phone estimate.
A wood-destroying organism report is commonly required for financing, and we issue licensed reports formatted for that.
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.
Seeing a swarm is often the first visible sign a colony has matured enough to reproduce. We recommend a yearly check-in since soil grading and mulch buildup change year to year.
Whether it's mud tubes or a closing deadline, we can get an inspector out fast.
