Our warm, humid climate and expansive clay soils make Sugar Land, Katy, and the surrounding areas ideal for subterranean termites. These pests thrive where moisture and soil movement coexist—two conditions common in most Texas foundations.

A WDI (Wood Destroying Insect) inspection is a formal report often required for VA, FHA, and conventional loans during a home purchase. A free inspection—offered by Imperial Pro to Fort Bend homeowners—is an informal, non-report evaluation meant to catch issues early without sales pressure.

Termites are drawn to moisture and cracks—two things found in unstable foundations. When soil shifts from poor drainage or tree root intrusion, gaps form, creating hidden access points for termites. Keeping your foundation healthy is a powerful termite defense.

Yes, especially for VA loans. WDI inspections are mandatory for all VA-financed home purchases in Texas. They’re highly recommended for FHA and conventional buyers as well—even on new construction homes.

Absolutely. Subterranean termites can invade homes as soon as construction is complete. Just because it's new doesn’t mean it’s immune. Soil treatments can wear off, and builders don’t always install effective barriers.

Common signs include mud tubes on walls or slabs, hollow-sounding wood, droppings (resembling sawdust), and discarded wings. Often, homeowners don’t notice until serious structural damage is underway.

We recommend an annual termite inspection, especially in Texas. Fort Bend County’s soil conditions and vegetation make termites a year-round concern—early detection is key.

Yes. While termite swarms often happen in spring, colonies remain active 12 months a year underground. Mild winters and moist soil keep them feeding, growing, and damaging structures silently.

Imperial Pro offers professional termite treatments including liquid termiticides and baiting systems. We treat both active infestations and offer preventative barrier options for long-term protection.

We’re not a pest control company—we’re licensed inspectors first. We offer unbiased evaluations, educate homeowners, and help prevent termites by addressing root causes like moisture and foundation issues before pushing treatment.
