Why choose Forterra for an Aubrey termite inspection
Fill dirt banked against a new slab, buried stumps and form boards from site work, and a builder pretreatment with no paperwork are the three findings that matter most on recent Aubrey construction. Forterra writes each one into the report in plain terms and says what it could not reach, rather than guessing at the soil chemistry. Texas Pest Control License TPCL #850046, with the Zero Gap System™ if treatment follows.

New construction on cleared land.
Around Aubrey the inspections are mostly on homes from the last few years, on ground that builders cleared to make room for them. That clearing is the thing worth knowing about. Site work buries stumps, form boards and offcuts, and a colony feeding on that material can sit under a new house for years with nothing showing above ground. New does not mean clear.
The other question is the pre-treatment. Where a builder properly treated the slab before the pour the risk is genuinely lower, and a missing record is worth discovering before a sale rather than after. We ask for the paperwork instead of assuming the builder handled it. If the inspection is for a closing, the WDI report starts at $175 by square footage, and the buyer usually pays for it.

Findings first. Options second. Pressure never.
Recent construction shifts what matters. Buried timber from site work, fill dirt against the slab, and a pre-treatment nobody can produce paperwork for are the three things worth establishing early.
Walk everything
Interior, exterior, attic access and every accessible edge.
The inspector walks the full perimeter, probes the known target zones, checks bath traps and plumbing penetrations, and reads the attic where access allows. In DFW the subterranean termite is the enemy, so the slab edge and the soil line get the closest look.
Document findings
Photos and locations, whether we find termites or not.
You get the findings in plain language with photos, active evidence, old damage, previous treatment marks, and the conducive conditions worth fixing. We document a clean inspection just as carefully, because knowing is the product.
Lay out options
If termites are active, you get the plans and the prices.
Active termites mean a treatment conversation, Sentricon colony elimination, targeted treatment, and what each costs, in writing. No countdown clocks and no same-day-only pricing. The house has been standing for years; you can take a day to decide.
Ready when you are. Real prices online in about 60 seconds, phones answered 24/7.

Aubrey Termite Inspection FAQ
Below are answers on why a new house needs an inspection, builder pretreatment, WDI reports and repeat intervals.
Because the chemical barrier the builder put into the soil before the pour is the only protection the house has, and it weakens from the day the concrete went down. Nobody writes to tell you when it stops working. An inspection looks for live activity and the conditions that invite it, since nobody can test the soil on site for how much of the barrier remains.
Less than owners expect by the third or fourth year, though it varies with soil, drainage and the builder's original work. Since nobody can measure it on site, the inspection treats the paperwork and the signs around the slab as the evidence instead. On an Aubrey property with irrigation running against the foundation, the barrier tends to deplete faster than it would on drier ground elsewhere.
The exterior perimeter and foundation line, any accessible crawl space or slab edge, the garage, and the interior areas where evidence shows first. Your exterminator looks for mud tubes, damaged timber, discarded wings and the moisture conditions that invite a colony. On an Aubrey build the expansion joints, the weep holes and the plumbing penetrations all get particular attention.
Sometimes, which is exactly why it is worth doing. Age protects nothing against subterranean colonies already living in ground that was open country recently. What a young Aubrey house does have in its favor is sound construction and a short list of entry points, so anything found early enough is usually dealt with long before it ever reaches framing.
Related but not identical. A WDI report is the transaction document a lender or buyer requires and follows a set format. A routine inspection on your own Aubrey home is broader and aimed at your decisions rather than a closing date. Say which of the two you need when you book, because the paperwork and the timing differ between them.
A written report naming what is active, what conditions invite a problem later, and what each one would take to address. That distinction matters more than most people realize, because conducive conditions are far cheaper to deal with than an established colony and they are exactly what most reports gloss over or leave out of the document entirely.
Annually is the standard, and this region earns it. Subterranean termites are endemic to the soil here and a colony can establish quietly between one inspection and the next. Annual checking is what keeps the cost in the realm of treatment rather than structural repair, which is a very different and considerably more expensive conversation to be having.
No. It is a report on the condition of the building, and plenty of them conclude that nothing needs doing this year beyond watching a particular area. If we recommend treatment you get the reasoning in writing and a price, and you are free to take that away, think it over or get a second opinion from somebody else.
