A free termite inspection for North Texas homeowners and buyers. Slab edges, bath traps, expansion joints and mud tubes get checked and photographed, findings explained straight, and quarterly customers get this look on every regular visit.
Forterra Termite Inspections are free. A licensed inspector reads the slab edges, bath traps, expansion joints and plumbing penetrations where DFW's subterranean termites show up first, documents findings with photos, and explains options with written pricing and no obligation. Quarterly-plan customers get these checks routinely. The official Texas WDI report for closings is a separate flat-fee document. The visit takes about half an hour and ends with the findings walked through on site. TPCL #850046.
"I had termite swarmers and was worried so I reached out to Forterra to get some preventive treatments done. I had great experience with Forterra. Their prices are affordable. Chad is a great guy. He listened to my concerns and addressed them to my satisfaction. Definitely recommend Forterra to anyone with pest issues."
"Timely and efficient as always! Termite treatment added to our services."
"Chad did amazing. Installed termite stations about 6 months ago and came by this week again to check them. He was right and there was termites in the stations. Extremely glad we listened to him !!"
"I am absolutely floored by the work Caroline did. Thank you so much for your attention to detail and care for my property!!!"

A trained inspection is a systematic walk of the places termites cannot hide their work. These are the four evidence types we check on every North Texas home.
Pencil-width earthen tunnels running up foundation walls, piers and plumbing penetrations are subterranean termites commuting between soil and wood. Fresh tubes are damp and sealed; we break a section to check for live traffic.
Termites eat wood from the inside out along the grain, leaving a thin painted shell over galleries packed with soil. The probe-and-sound pass finds hollow baseboards, sills and door frames long before anything visibly sags.
Winged termites indoors, or piles of identical shed wings on sills and in spider webs, mean a mature colony is within striking distance. Spring swarms after rain are the classic North Texas tell.
Wood-to-soil contact, mulch piled against siding, moisture at the slab edge, weep holes below grade. The conditions that invite the next colony get documented alongside any evidence of the current one.

Half the swarms and half the damaged wood we inspect turn out to be the other insect. The treatments share nothing, so the inspection makes this call first, with the evidence on the table.
Ready when you are. Real prices online in about 60 seconds, phones answered 24/7.
The inspection is free and it obligates you to nothing. What you get is a documented answer to whether anything is eating this house, and if so, what are the options.
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.
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. A clean inspection is documented just as carefully, because knowing is the product.
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.
The first step is the only one with a fee at risk, and it's free. Everything below it is optional, you'll have a written quote in 24 hours and decide from there.
Book online or by phone, next-day for most of DFW. The inspection is free, in person and unhurried, plan on about an hour.
Perimeter, interior target zones, attic access and the probe-and-sound pass on suspect wood. You are welcome to walk it with us.
Photos, locations and plain-language conclusions, including the conditions worth correcting even when no termites turn up.
If treatment is warranted you get the options and exact prices in writing. If not, you get a clean report and a recommended re-inspection date.
If you don't see yours, call (817) 665-6527 or text us, a human will answer.
Yes. The walk-through inspection, the findings and the treatment options, if any are needed, cost nothing and obligate you to nothing. The paid product is different. An official WDI report for a real estate closing, which is a state-regulated document with its own page and its own flat fee.
Annually is the standard here, and DFW earns it. Subterranean termites are endemic to North Texas soil and a colony can work unseen for years. Homes with previous activity, heavy irrigation or wood-to-soil contact justify keeping the yearly date; homes on Sentricon are effectively inspected around the calendar. Customers on the quarterly General Pest plan get these checks routinely as part of their regular service.
You get the evidence shown to you on the spot, then options in writing, Sentricon colony elimination for ongoing protection, or targeted treatment where that genuinely fits. Prices are exact, the guarantee is plain and there is no penalty for thinking it over. Termite damage moves in months, not hours; ignore anyone selling panic.
Damaged wood and spring swarms fit either insect, yet the treatments differ completely. Termite swarmers have straight waists and equal wings; carpenter ants are pinched-waisted with uneven wings and push out coarse frass. The inspection settles it either way, and both answers have a plan.
It depends on the home's footprint and the treatment that fits, so the honest answer arrives in writing after the free inspection. Sentricon protection is priced as an annual program; targeted treatments are priced per job. Either way you see the exact number before any work starts, never after.
Plans, inspections and treatments run by the same three offices and the same W-2 technicians, so whichever door you came in through, the rest is one phone call away.
Termite inspections offered city by city across the DFW coverage map.
No phone call. No credit card up front. See the real price for your home, pick a start date, and a technician will be at your door in about two business days.
