The most effective time to protect a home from termites is before it’s built. We’ve partnered with builders throughout Southeast Alabama and Southwest Georgia since 1958, delivering reliable, on-schedule pre-treatment services that protect your projects and your reputation.
Pre-construction termite treatment isn’t just a good idea—it’s often required and always smart business.
Alabama building codes require termite protection for new construction. Pre-construction soil treatment is the most common method of compliance. Documentation required for certificate of occupancy.
Treating soil before the slab is poured is straightforward and efficient. Post-construction treatment requires drilling through concrete and extensive labor—significantly higher cost.
Pre-treatment creates a continuous, uninterrupted barrier beneath and around the foundation. This coverage is impossible to achieve after construction.
Homeowners expect termite protection and lenders often require it. Transferable warranties satisfy lender requirements and make your homes easier to sell.
Termite damage after closing can lead to disputes. Proper treatment with documented warranties demonstrates due diligence and protects against claims.
Government-backed loans typically require termite protection certification. Pre-construction treatment provides documentation needed for FHA, VA, and USDA loans.
