Termite Inspection
Identifying the presence of termites and the telltale signs of termite damage is the first step in our termite repair jobs. We’ll look for mud tubes, damaged wood, discarded wings, and droppings and implement advanced techniques and devices to find them on your property.
Termite Treatment
We are knowledgeable and experienced in all types of treatments against termites. We’ll implement chemical treatments with termiticides, baiting systems around your property, fumigation techniques, or localized treatments depending on the severity of the infestation.
Termite Prevention
Identifying and eliminating your termite problem is one of many essential steps. The most important method to avoid infestation is prevention. We provide:
- Regular inspections.
- Moisture control with proper drainage and adequate ventilation in crawl spaces.
- Installing barriers to prevent them from crossing over your property.
- Other preventive measures.
Termite Damage & Structural Repairs
Termites can cause critical damage to the structural integrity of your home, business, or property. Once we’ve gotten rid of the pest, we evaluate the need for structural repairs that involve beams, studs, joints, and other elements. Our structural repairs involve:
- Stabilization with temporary supports like braces or shoring to prevent structural failure
- Reinforcement with steel beams or veneer lumber on weakened areas
- Applying wood preservatives to prevent future infestations
- Replacing affected areas and other structural sound components
- Aligning and leveling your structure to make sure it stands on its feet
Termite Damage & Wood Replacement
When termites have taken over your wood, sometimes replacing it all is the real solution. When there’s extensive wood damage from termite infestations, it can compromise your safety, which is why we offer wood replacement services, which include:
- Safely removing damaged wood
- Matching the materials to your original structure
- Treating the replacement wood for termite prevention
- Installing new wood carefully with all load-bearing requirements
- Finishing and painting the replaced wood
- Quality control
Signs of Termite Damage
Most property owners only identify signs of a termite infestation once it’s too late. It’s crucial to be on the lookout for them. Calling a termite damage repair expert before a colony has completely taken over your home can save you time and money in the long run. Some signs of termite damage are:
- Hollowed or crumbling wood
- Blisters in wood
- Mud tubes on walls
- Visible, flying termites (swarmers)
- Termite droppings or frass
- Cracked or bubbling paint
- Visible termite tunnels in drywall, plaster, or wood
- Sagging floors and ceilings
- Water accumulation or excessively damp areas near wood
- Faint clicking sounds
- Warped door frames
- Jamming doors and windows
Waste Disposal
Using proper safety measures, we remove asbestos debris, which we carefully label as hazardous waste and double bagged. We transport all unwanted materials to approved facilities.
Cleanup and Decontamination
Once we’re done, the work area is thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated. This includes wet wiping surfaces and using HEPA vacuum cleaners. Our workers also go through a decontamination process to prevent the spread of asbestos outside the area.
