Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Sullivans Island's conditions — a coastal climate defined by high humidity, mild winters, and heavy rainfall much of the year — create exactly that. Elevated and pier-foundation construction is common given constant flood risk from surrounding marsh and tidal waterways. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
Because termite colonies operate underground and out of sight, our process leans heavily on inspection: checking every foundation wall, sill plate, and crawl space for activity. From there we deploy either soil treatment or a Sentricon-style bait and monitoring program, both backed by a written service report.
