Historic homes and old wood

Hillsborough’s historic district has buildings dating back to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Old timber framing, original floors and crawl spaces are where powderpost beetles and old house borers and subterranean termites can go unnoticed. We inspect to tell current activity from old damage before recommending anything.

The Eno River and rural edges

With the Eno River running through town and farmland and woods around it, many properties back onto natural areas. That brings ticks, mosquitoes, spiders and, as the weather cools, mice looking for shelter.

Crawl-space moisture

Older and rural homes are often built over crawl spaces, and low-lying lots near the river can be humid. Moisture control and encapsulation help reduce the conditions that attract wood-destroying insects.
