Why choose Forterra for a Southlake termite inspection
Most newer Southlake homes have a sound structure, so the termite risk sits in the yard. Sprinklers hitting the foundation, beds that rise over the slab line and wood edging in the soil are what draw a colony, and you can fix all three without paying anyone. Forterra writes those homeowner fixes into the report and notes every area the landscaping hid from view. Texas Pest Control License TPCL #850046, with the Zero Gap System™ available if treatment follows.

Newer homes, and the water around them.
Inspections out of the Southlake office are usually on newer, well-built homes, which changes what matters. The structure is rarely the weak point. Irrigation is. Watering schedules, bed heights and edging all shift with each new landscaping project, so a yard that passed last year can invite an infestation this year.
Those also happen to be the findings a homeowner can act on without paying anyone, which is why they go in the report explicitly rather than in a passing word at the door. We inspect the slab edge, the penetrations and the areas the landscaping has covered up, and we say plainly what we could and could not see. For a home sale, the WDI report starts at $175 and scales with square footage.

Findings first. Options second. Pressure never.
The structure is rarely the weak point on these properties. Sprinkler placement, beds built above the slab line and timber edging in contact with soil are what change the risk, and all three are fixable.
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.

Southlake Termite Inspection FAQ
These answers cover inspecting a large property, irrigation, newer houses, outbuildings and how a WDI report differs.
Everything where soil meets structure. That means the perimeter and foundation line, whatever your exterminator can reach underneath or around the building, any outbuilding standing close to the house, and each point where planting or timber touches the ground. A Southlake property has a great many of those, so this takes longer than a compact suburban lot would ever take.
It decides where the time goes. A zone throwing water at a foundation two or three times a week keeps that soil permanently damp, and damp soil at a perimeter is precisely what lets a subterranean colony work up against a building. On a Southlake property the irrigated elevations therefore get the attention first, not all four at once.
Yes, because construction age has very little bearing on colonies already established in the soil. What a newer Southlake build gives you is sound framing and a short list of ways in, so anything found early is generally dealt with before it reaches anything structural. The builder's soil barrier also weakens steadily from the day it went down.
On a Southlake property they usually should, particularly where a workshop, pool house or pergola sits close to the main building or has timber in contact with soil. Those structures are frequently where activity shows first and where nobody thinks to look. Say what else is on the property when you book, so we can scope the visit correctly.
Related, not identical. A WDI report is the document a lender or a buyer asks for, written to a set format and valid for a fixed period only. A routine inspection on your own Southlake property is wider in scope and written around what you actually want to know. Say which you need when booking, because the paperwork differs.
A written report separating three things, namely what is active right now, what is quietly inviting a problem later, and what each would cost to put right. That middle category is where most of the value sits on a Southlake property, because conducive conditions are cheap to fix and are exactly what shorter reports tend to leave out entirely.
Once a year, and this region genuinely earns that. Subterranean termites live in the soil here as a matter of course, and a colony can establish between one inspection and the next without putting a single visible sign above ground. Annual checking is what keeps a Southlake property in treatment territory rather than repair territory, which costs differently.
Not in the slightest. It is a report on the building's condition, and plenty of them end with nothing needing doing this year beyond watching one area. Where treatment is worth having, the reasoning comes in writing with a price beside it, and you are free to take it away, sleep on it or get a second opinion elsewhere.
