What to Have Ready When You Call

A short conversation is all it takes to get an inspection on the calendar. To make it go smoothly, it helps to have a few details in mind before you call.

• The property type: single-family home, condo, multi-unit building, or commercial structure
• The construction type if you know it: slab foundation, crawlspace, or raised foundation
• What you have noticed: mud tubes, frass, discarded wings, hollow-sounding wood, or anything else that prompted the call
• How long the signs have been visible, if you have a sense of it
• Whether the property is currently occupied and what access looks like

None of those are required before you call. We can work through the details together on the phone. The more context you can share, the better we can scope the inspection and give you a useful rate on the first call.

What Happens After You Call

Protecting your biggest investment starts with one inspection. Here is how the process works from the moment you reach us.

1. You call and describe what you have noticed and where.
2. We ask about the property type, the construction, and the access points.
3. We confirm the inspection rate and explain what the visit covers.
4. The inspection is scheduled at a time that works for you.
5. The inspection findings and treatment cost are explained together so you understand what you are paying for before anything is scheduled.
6. If treatment is needed, the plan is set before we leave the property.

No upsells. No scare tactics. Just the treatment your home needs.

Reasons People Call

A home sale is a common reason for a first termite inspection. But it is far from the only one. We hear from homeowners who have spotted something and want to know what it means, buyers and sellers who need a WDO inspection before a transaction closes, property managers watching over multi-unit buildings, and commercial property owners who want a documented inspection schedule in place.

Whatever the reason, the starting point is the same: we confirm what is actually there before any treatment is discussed. You get a clear answer on whether treatment is needed at all, not a quote built on assumption.

If you are not sure whether what you are seeing is a termite problem, call anyway. That is exactly the kind of question we answer on the phone.
