I purchased my 1st home in May 2026, and PTI came highly recommended for my home inspection. They were so thorough and easily lived up to their reputation. They caught so many things and saved me so much money before closing. I'm incredibly thankful for the team and would definitely recommend them for other home owners.

Protect The Investment, LLC provides pest inspections for termites and wood-destroying insects across Northern Virginia homes.
About this service
Expert Pest Inspection (Termites & Wood-Destroying Insects) in DMV
A termite and wood-destroying insect inspection from Protect The Investment, LLC gives Northern Virginia homeowners a clear picture of what is happening inside their walls, crawl spaces, and wood framing.
Our inspector checks all accessible areas for active insects, past activity, mud tubes, frass, damaged wood, and moisture conditions that attract pests.
We document findings on a WDI report, the standard form required by most mortgage lenders and the Northern Virginia real estate sales contract before closing.
Northern Virginia sits in a moderate-to-heavy termite pressure zone, and the region's mix of older brick colonials, split-levels, and newer construction on previously wooded lots all carry real risk.
Eastern subterranean termites are the dominant species here, entering through foundation cracks and damp crawl spaces year-round.
Whether you are buying, selling, or simply checking on your home, our inspection gives you documented facts so you can act with confidence.

FAQ
Pest Inspection (Termites & Wood-Destroying Insects) FAQ
Common questions about pest inspection (termites & wood-destroying insects) in DMV.
Yes, a WDI inspection is required by the standard Northern Virginia real estate sales contract and by most mortgage lenders before closing. Protect The Investment, LLC provides the NPMA-33 report form lenders and agents need.
Our inspection covers all wood-destroying insects found in Northern Virginia, including carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and wood-boring beetles, in addition to termites. We check all accessible wood structures, crawl spaces, basements, decks, and the foundation.
Yes, newer homes in Northern Virginia are at risk because many were built on previously wooded lots with existing termite pressure in the soil. Pre-construction soil treatments also lose effectiveness over time, leaving the structure exposed.
The inspector looks for mud tubes on foundation walls, frass, discarded wings, hollowed or damaged wood, and moisture conditions in crawl spaces and basements. These are the most reliable physical indicators of active or past wood-destroying insect activity in Northern Virginia homes.
Yes, a routine pest inspection is a practical step for any Northern Virginia homeowner, since Eastern subterranean termites feed year-round and damage often goes unnoticed until it is costly. Catching activity early keeps repair scope and expense smaller.
Under the standard Northern Virginia real estate contract, the seller is responsible for treating live wood-destroying insects and providing a written receipt before closing. Our inspection report documents exactly what was found so all parties have clear facts.
