Historic homes, tidal moisture, serious termite pressure.
Georgetown was the largest rice-exporting port in the world by the 1840s, and the geography that made that possible, with the Sampit, Waccamaw, Black, and Pee Dee rivers converging on Winyah Bay ringed by old rice-field lowlands, keeps ambient moisture high in every season. For the antebellum and Craftsman-era homes near Front Street and the Harborwalk, that means relentless subterranean termite pressure on aging heart-pine framing and brick-pier foundations. Historic construction deserves a careful approach, and we treat these homes with methods suited to their materials, not a one-size-fits-all drill pattern.
The marsh brings the mosquitoes, too. Georgetown County runs a public spraying program, but county trucks can't reach your backyard's shaded breeding spots, so a property-level seasonal program picks up where the county leaves off. Add coastal humidity roaches, waterfront rodents, and damp crawlspaces, and Georgetown is the full South Carolina pest experience. We handle all of it, from the Historic District out to Maryville and Belle Isle.
