A thorough inspection is the first step to understanding your termite risk.
Our experts will assess your home for any signs of infestation, identifying potential problem areas that need immediate attention. Below are some of the common problems we find during the inspections:
Drywood
Termites
The most common termites we find in California is the Western Drywood Termites. The picture shows a hand full of droppings along with live termites that fell from a termite damaged wood.
Subterranean
Termites
The second most common termites we find are the subterranean termites. Unlike the drywood termites, they require a lot of water to survive. These mud tubes are built for them to lock-in moisture while they forage for food.
Dryrot
if left untreated, it can be detrimental to structural integrity of a building. It weakens the wood making it prone to collapse.
Excessive
Moisture
Water in your foundation is never a good sign. Not only does it cause cracks, leaks, and structural issues, it can also attract insects and rodents.
