Typical job

What homeowners notice: A homeowner found droppings beside a water heater in the garage and grease marks along a beam.
What we do: The technician traced the marks to a gap at the garage door seal and a run along the fence, identified the species from the evidence, placed devices on the confirmed route and marked the openings for sealing.
What to expect: The report recorded the species evidence, the device positions and the sealing list, with a follow-up date. The result depends on the building and the routes, and it was reported as found on the visit.

What homeowners notice: A homeowner noticed a wooden step that gave under a foot and asked for an inspection before any repair.
What we do: The inspector marked each wood contact in the yard and at the house, probed the step and the sill, took moisture readings and followed a tube on the foundation face to the wood it reached.
What to expect: The written report recorded the step, the contacts, the readings and the points not reached, and recommended the next step. No infestation was assumed beyond what the inspection found.
