We build barriers between the colony and your house and keep watch year after year with annual inspections.
Read more about Termite Control in York County
Subterranean termites thrive in the damp soil under York County crawl spaces, feeding on moist framing before anyone spots a problem. Spring swarms are the first sign many families in Seaford or Grafton ever notice, when winged termites pour out of walls or mulch beds on a warm afternoon. Homes near the creeks feeding the York River sit on the kind of moist ground colonies love. Left alone, the damage builds quietly for years inside sills and joists.
Our Sentricon Certified technicians inspect the full structure, then choose the right defense: Sentricon stations that wipe out the entire colony, or a liquid barrier laid into the soil around the home's footprint. We monitor the stations on a set schedule and return each year to verify the home stays protected. Every termite plan carries our Termite-Free Guarantee, and we've protected Hampton Roads homes for more than 26 years.
Home Termite Inspections & WDI Reports in York County
A homeowner calling about termites or an annual checkup receives a free inspection. Our technician walks the accessible crawl space or slab perimeter, checks foundation walls, sill plates, joists, and other exposed wood, and looks for mud tubes, swarm evidence, moisture, and conditions that invite termites.
Buying, selling, or refinancing is different: the written wood-destroying insect report for a real-estate transaction (WDI/WDIR, often called a WDO letter) is a separate paid service. Its published fee is $75 – $125, based on the property; it is not included with the free homeowner inspection. You receive a clear explanation of the findings and your options if activity or conducive conditions are found.
