Mud tubes on the foundation and frass near a window sill both mean the same thing: active feeding, and every week counts. Homeowners insurance almost never covers termite damage, which makes early detection the only real financial protection you have.
Our inspectors carry state wood-destroying organism licensing and produce reports accepted for real estate closings.
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. Bait station monitoring logs are kept on file and available to you at any time, not just at the annual check-in.
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.
Liquid termiticide trenched along the full foundation perimeter, engineered for colony-level elimination through contact transfer.
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.
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. 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.
An inspector arrives with moisture meters and acoustic tools to confirm activity before recommending anything.
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.
Licensed inspectors cover Cedar Mill and the surrounding Cedar Mill, OR region, with priority given to active swarms, mud tubes, and closing deadlines. We factor in soil conditions and tree cover across Cedar Mill 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.
One needs ground moisture and builds visible tubes, the other nests directly inside the wood itself. 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.
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.
Over-the-counter sprays usually repel locally rather than eliminate the colony, which can complicate professional treatment later. 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.
