Termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, and carpenter bees operate stealthily, often infiltrating homes unnoticed until substantial damage has already occurred. While termites feed on wood, carpenter ants excavate galleries within wooden structures, wood-boring beetles lay eggs in wood, and carpenter bees bore into wood to create nesting galleries. Dry rot and wet rot fungi thrive in moist, poorly ventilated areas, breaking down wood and causing it to decay.

5D inspectors are trained to identify the telltale signs of infestation by these pests and fungi, allowing for prompt intervention to prevent further damage. It is far less expensive to eradicate a small, new colony of wood-destroying insects than to replace sections of your home destroyed by a large, established colony. Termites alone cause an estimated $5 billion in property damage each year in the United States. Early detection is key to avoiding becoming part of this statistic.
