Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Manassas's conditions — a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and cold winters, typical of the Mid-Atlantic — create exactly that. Basements are standard here given the region's winter cold, alongside a significant share of newer multi-family construction. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
We start with a full inspection of the foundation, crawl space, and any wood-to-soil contact points, looking for mud tubes, damaged wood, or swarmer activity. Treatment options include soil treatment around the foundation perimeter or bait-station monitoring systems that intercept foraging termites before they reach the structure. Every job includes a wood-destroying-insect inspection report.
