Termite Inspections
Our comprehensive termite inspections identify subterranean termite activity, wood-boring beetles, and structural vulnerabilities. We examine plumbing leaks, roof leaks, and dry rot while providing same-day reporting for real estate transactions and maintenance purposes. Our NPMA-33 inspections meet industry standards for accuracy.
Chemical Treatments
We apply Termidor SC, a proven chemical treatment that eliminates termite colonies through transfer effect technology. Our treatments create protective barriers around foundations and address infestations in concrete slabs, raised floors, and attached wood structures.
Structural Repairs
Our trained repair crew addresses termite damage to wood components, drywall, and structural elements. We restore affected areas while maintaining building integrity and preparing properties for resale or refinancing.
Pre-Treatments
We offer preventative treatments for new construction and renovations. Our pre-treatment services create chemical barriers during building phases to protect against future termite infestations in vulnerable structural components.
NPMA-33 Forms
We complete standardized NPMA-33 termite inspection reports required for real estate transactions. Our documentation details current infestations, previous treatments, and conditions conducive to termite activity with clear visual indicators.
