Questions builders ask

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not for the treatment. We need access, plumbing in, the forms set and the grade ready. Your coordinator calls when a crew is on the way and sends the treatment ticket when we leave.

Yes. Send a list of lots. Each lot gets its own treatment date and its own record, and you still have one coordinator for the whole list.

We can't call any treatment safe. Licensed applicators follow the product label, keep each product to the areas the label allows and can give you the product list and label for any lot. Buyers' questions come to your coordinator, who answers from the label.

No. We treat the ground for new construction and inspect finished houses for builders and their buyers. For ants, roaches or rodents, a general pest company is the right call.

The lot and subdivision, the foundation type and the pour date. For your vendor file we send our license copy, certificate of insurance and a W-9 on request.
