Pest Control in Rock Island Arsenal

Without a crawl space there is nothing underneath to inspect, so the work happens outside. The strip of ground against the foundation, the expansion joint at the garage and the sleeve where the water line enters carry almost all of the traffic.

Irrigation makes that strip worse: a bed against the wall that gets sprinkled every other day stays damp all summer, and damp ground against a warm slab is the most attractive square foot on the property.

Most of the housing here is rented, which puts a step before the work: in most states a landlord carries the cost where the problem is structural rather than the tenant’s doing. A written inspection is what settles that argument, and it is worth having before the argument starts.
