Standing brief
We inspect the whole property, not just the footprint of the house, because barns and sheds are where termites stage first.
Dispatch from the Granby Street officeThousands of households in northeastern North Carolina commute north into Hampton Roads, and their homes face the same enemies ours do: sandy coastal-plain soil, shallow water tables, humid summers, and eastern subterranean termites that have never once checked a map. We extend our routes across the line to serve Moyock, the Currituck mainland, Camden, and Elizabeth City, where the Coast Guard air station keeps its own steady rotation of military families buying and selling.
Rural properties dominate down here, which means the same outbuilding realities we handle in western Suffolk: barns, detached garages, and sheds that give termites staging ground, plus wells and septic systems that shape how treatments get applied. We inspect the whole property, not just the footprint of the house.
Ground section
Between the swamp and the sound
The land between the Great Dismal Swamp and Currituck Sound drains slowly and holds water close to the surface. It is the same coastal plain we work every day, and the insect has never once checked a map.
Surface
Sandy coastal plain soil
Warm, damp, and sandy, which suits subterranean termites well.
New subdivisions
Former farmland
A pretty new house on ground that has always been wet is still a house on wet ground.
Swamp to sound
Shallow water table
Crawl spaces stay humid deep into fall.
How deep into the year crawl spaces here stay humid. Manufactured and modular homes add their own pattern, with skirting that traps damp air underneath.

What northeastern NC homes are up against
The land between the Great Dismal Swamp and Currituck Sound drains slowly and holds water close to the surface. Crawl spaces stay humid deep into fall, and manufactured and modular homes, which are common in the area, have their own moisture patterns with skirting that traps damp air underneath.
Growth is the other story. Moyock has become one of the fastest-growing communities in the region as Hampton Roads workers chase larger lots, and new subdivisions on former farmland inherit the drainage of that farmland. A pretty new house on ground that has always been wet is still a house on wet ground.
Housing stock
Rural property, and a lot of new roofs
Thousands of households here commute north into Hampton Roads, and their homes face the same enemies ours do. Growth is the other story.
Rural
Camden, South Mills, Shawboro, Currituck mainland
Barns, detached garages, and sheds, plus wells and septic that shape treatment.
Manufactured
Common across the area
Skirting traps humid air underneath and creates its own moisture pattern.
New subdivisions
Moyock
Former farmland, inheriting the drainage of that farmland along with the lot.

Asked in this city
Northeastern North Carolina questions we hear most
01 Which parts of North Carolina do you actually cover?
The northeastern corner nearest Hampton Roads: Moyock, the Currituck County mainland, Camden County, South Mills, and Elizabeth City. If you are close to that footprint, call 757-583-4444 and we will tell you honestly whether we can route to you.
02 Is termite pressure different in North Carolina?
It is the same insect and, if anything, a slightly longer active season. The coastal plain south of the line is warm, damp, and sandy, which suits subterranean termites well. The inspection and treatment approach is the same one we use across Hampton Roads.
Also serving: Virginia Beach , Chesapeake , Suffolk and the rest of Hampton Roads.
