Pre-construction termite treatment
Treated before the pour. Documented before the inspector asks.
Pre-slab and final-grade termite treatment for Dallas–Fort Worth builders. We book to your pour date, work around your trades and send one treatment record for each lot.
What do you need today?
The pre-slab schedule
How a lot moves from forms to final grade
Five steps, in the order your trades see them. Your coordinator confirms each date in writing.
- 01Booking
Step 1: Send us the lot and the pour date
Lot and subdivision, foundation type and the day your concrete is booked. Your coordinator confirms our treatment window and tells your superintendent who is coming.
- 02Before the pour
Step 2: We treat the soil after plumbing rough-in
Once plumbing is set and the grade is ready, a licensed applicator treats the soil under the slab and along the forms, following the product label.
- 03If the pour moves
Step 3: If rain or a delay disturbs the soil, we retreat it
Heavy rain, a washed-out edge or a pour that slips past the window means we come back to the disturbed soil before concrete goes in. The terms are on your proposal.
- 04Final grade
Step 4: We treat the outside edge at final grade
When the house is graded and the pipes, hose bibs and utility lines are in, we treat the soil along the foundation and around each penetration.
- 05Closing file
Step 5: The treatment record goes to your file
One record for each lot: date, address, areas treated, product and amount, and the applicator's license number. Sent to you, and to your lender or title company if you ask.
Documents on request
Paperwork for each lot, ready when someone asks

Foundations
Three foundations, three treatment plans
Most Dallas–Fort Worth lots are one of these. The soil is treated before the concrete or the floor system goes in, and the outside edge is treated again at final grade.
| On your site | Slab on grade | Post-tension slab | Pier and beam |
|---|---|---|---|
| Before the pour | Slab on gradeSoil under the slab and along the forms, after plumbing rough-in | Post-tension slabThe same soil treatment, finished before cable and rebar go down so nothing is drilled afterward | Pier and beamSoil in the crawlspace and around each pier and grade beam |
| At final grade | Slab on gradeThe outside edge of the foundation and around each penetration | Post-tension slabThe outside edge of the foundation and around each penetration | Pier and beamThe foundation perimeter, the piers and any wood near the ground |
| What we need | Slab on gradePlumbing in, forms set, grade ready, a way in for a truck | Post-tension slabThe same, plus a dry window before the pour | Pier and beamThe crawlspace open and clear of debris |

Your coordinator
One contact for each of your sites
Each site gets a named coordinator at the first booking. Your superintendent calls that person about the schedule, a rain delay or a record.
From the field
What superintendents and purchasing managers say
“Our concrete crew pours on a fixed day, and the treatment was done before they arrived. When the inspector asked for the paperwork, I called one number and got the record for that lot.”
Chance W.Site superintendent
“We send one list of lots for each phase. Each lot comes back with its own date and its own record, which makes our closing files easier to keep.”
Seda K.Land and purchasing manager
“A wet week pushed three of our pours. Our coordinator told us which lots needed a retreat and put the new dates in writing.”
Gopal R.Production manager

Questions
What builders ask before the first lot
Short answers. The pricing page and your proposal have the detail.
How much does pre-slab treatment cost?
It depends on the slab's footprint and edge length, the foundation type, how many lots are on one booking and how easy the site is to reach. We quote per lot, in writing, once we have seen the plan. We don't quote a price by phone. The pricing page lists everything that moves the number.
What happens if it rains before the pour?
Heavy rain, a washed-out edge or a pour that slips past the treatment window can disturb treated soil. We look at the lot, retreat what was disturbed and write down the new date. The retreat terms are on your proposal, so you know them before the first lot.
Does a treatment record guarantee anything?
No. A record shows what was applied, where and when, so your inspector, lender or title company can see it. Any retreat terms are written on your proposal, not on the record.
Can you treat after the slab is poured?
We can treat the outside edge of the foundation and around penetrations after the pour. The soil under a slab can only be treated before concrete goes down, which is why we book to your pour date.
