With Tampa's humidity and older wood-frame homes, termites cause more property damage here than storms and fires combined. Our certified inspectors use moisture meters and borescopes to detect hidden activity in vulnerable areas like pier-and-beam foundations and original heart pine flooring.
We're trained to spot early signs of both subterranean and drywood termites - from mud tubes on stucco to frass in window sills. For homes near the bay, we pay special attention to salt air corrosion that compromises termite barriers.
Every inspection includes a detailed risk assessment with photos and treatment recommendations. We'll explain exactly what we found in terms homeowners understand, not scare tactics.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should Tampa homes be inspected?
Annual inspections are wise, but bi-annual checks are better for pre-1970s homes or properties with previous termite activity.
Do you inspect for both drywood and subterranean termites?
Yes, we're certified to detect all species common to Tampa, including the particularly destructive Formosan termites found near the bay.
Can you inspect my detached garage or workshop too?
Absolutely - we check all structures on your property since termites often start in outbuildings before reaching the main house.
