Mud tubes on the foundation and frass near a window sill both mean the same thing: active feeding, and every week counts. 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.
Swarms and mud tubes jump the queue — active colonies cause damage every day they're left untreated.
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.
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.
Stations placed at intervals, checked on schedule to intercept colonies before they reach the structure.
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.
We assess joists, sill plates, and subfloor before connecting you with repair contractors. Basement and crawl space access points get particular attention during inspection, since those areas often show early activity first.
Termiticide applied to soil and footings before slab pour, protecting new builds from day one. A yearly check-in catches soil grading or mulch buildup around a foundation before it becomes a new pathway.
Location and type of sign determine whether this is a subterranean or drywood dispatch.
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.
We serve Fairfax and nearby communities, moving fastest for active infestations and time-sensitive real estate inspections. We factor in soil conditions and tree cover across Fairfax 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.
Cost depends on foundation size and whether it's liquid barrier or bait stations, quoted in writing after seeing the property.
Most lenders require a current WDO report — we can turn documentation around fast to meet a closing deadline.
Modern termiticide treatment is built for long-term elimination, generally backed by a multi-year term.
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.
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.
Whether it's mud tubes or a closing deadline, we can get an inspector out fast.
