Aachren is the "one call we'll do it all" company for your residential and commercial termite and pest control needs.

Selling or buying a new home or property?
Aachren will inspect the property and fill out a Real Estate closing letter/termite letter.

Suspect moisture or fungus under your home?
Aachren can remedy that, too.

Real Estate Closing Letter/Termite Letter: In Virginia, in order for a transaction to take place for buying or selling a home with a mortgage lender, the mortgage company requires a Termite and moisture report. The property must be inspected by a licensed termite company and clear letter written stating that there are no wood destroying insects in the structure, nor any termite or moisture damage, nor standing water in the crawl space.

    Requirements for Real Estate Closing Letter:
  • Property address
  • Seller's name
  • Buyer's name
  • Closing date
  • Name, address, phone number, and fax number of closing attorney or title company.

    Aachren Will:

  • Inspect the property with a Certified Inspector.
  • Provide corrective treatments on property.
  • Perform major and minor structural repairs.
  • Forward closing documents to desired location expediently.

Moisture/Standing Water/Fungus Treatments: Common causes of moisture problems include moisture in the ground, lack of proper ventilation, or perhaps the duct work "sweats" in the crawl space under your home. When there is a high moisture level, for whatever cause, fungus will then grow on exposed wood (such as beams and joists), eventually causing the wood to rot. A vapor barrier, sand installation, fungus treatment, and fan installation are common corrective procedures for moisture problems in crawl spaces.

Termite Treatment: In the event that your home or business is being invaded by termites, Aachren will inspect your property, identify the source, and recommend treatment.

Pest Control: Sometimes you may find one or two pests in your home or business, but when there is an invasion of ants or roaches or other pests it is prudent to schedule monthly or quarterly pest control service on your home to permanently eliminate the pests. The technician initially treats both the inside and outside of your property to create a protective barrier. The type of the property being treated (apartment, town home, single family home, or restaurant, etc.) will determine treatment frequency (monthly or quarterly).

Termite Warranty: "Peace Of Mind" Aachren knows that your home is your castle. How much is your investment worth? For your home or property, you can relax and leave the termites to us (isn't this a trademarked phrase for a large national chain?). For only $135.00 per year, Aachren will inspect your property and cover any termite activity for the entire year. If termites are found in the structure, Aachren will treat your home at no additional cost or fees to you.

Insulation Installation: If you have insulation that needs to be replaced (whether or not due to moisture damage) Aachren is able to provide this service. We will remove and discard the old insulation and install new materials.
