Termites work silently for years before damage is visible. Average Virginia repair bill: $8,000โ$20,000. Treatment costs a fraction of that.
๐ (703) 804-7057Most original termite soil treatments from Sterling's development boom have fully expired. If your home was built before 2005 and hasn't been treated, you have no active protection.
The clay-heavy Piedmont soils in Loudoun County retain moisture longer than sandy soils โ creating the conditions termite colonies need to stay active year-round.
Properties near Broad Run, Sugarland Run, and other Sterling waterways sit in the higher-moisture zones that sustain the largest termite colony densities in the area.
Termites consume wood from the inside out. By the time you see a mud tube or swarmers, there's already damage behind the walls.
We apply a professional termiticide to the soil around your foundation, creating a treated zone that subterranean termites must pass through to reach your home. Workers carry the active ingredient back to the colony, eliminating it at the source. The treatment bond lasts years and can be renewed. We document what we find, what we treat, and where โ so you have a record.
Mud tubes on your foundation (pencil-width tunnels of soil running up concrete). Winged swarmers inside your home in spring โ they look like flying ants but have equal-length wings and straight antennae. Hollow-sounding wood when you tap baseboards or door frames. Soft spots or bubbling paint on wood surfaces. Any of these means call us today, not next month.
Virtually every home in the Cascades community was built in the 1990s โ meaning virtually every original termite pretreatment is now 25โ30 years old, well past the 5โ10 year effectiveness window. Many homeowners in Cascades, Countryside, and South Riding have never had a professional inspection since closing. If that's you, this is the call to make.
