Termite damage builds quietly for years before it's visible — our Vashon, WA inspectors know exactly where to look first. 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.
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. Bait station monitoring logs are kept on file and available to you at any time, not just at the annual check-in.
Non-repellent liquid barriers, in-ground bait stations, moisture meters, and acoustic detection tools. We cross-check readings with a second meter on any borderline case.
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.
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.
Full foundation and accessible wood get inspected, with findings documented in writing.
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.
Licensed inspectors cover Vashon and the surrounding Vashon, WA region, with priority given to active swarms, mud tubes, and closing deadlines. Older Vashon 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.
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.
DIY treatment often scatters the colony instead of killing it, making the eventual professional job harder. Simple changes to mulch depth or irrigation runoff near the foundation can meaningfully reduce future termite pressure.
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.
