A concrete slab does not make a building termite-proof. Termites may reach vulnerable wood through concealed routes at cracks, joints or service penetrations. Describe the location of interior signs, the garage connection, attached porches and any extensions when requesting a Birmingham slab-foundation assessment.
Ask how the inspection and treatment proposal accounts for paved areas, adjoining construction and inaccessible slab edges. A suitable plan may differ from one for a crawl-space home. Drilling, localized access or a perimeter system should follow evidence, construction details and product-label requirements rather than a blanket assumption about every slab.
Tell the provider about underfloor utilities and recent plumbing or foundation work. Agree on any proposed openings, surface restoration and treatment records before work starts. If structural movement or damaged wood is suspected, obtain the appropriate separate assessment; termite treatment does not itself repair the building.
Compare liquid termite treatment and termite treatment when planning the next step. Call (323) 689-7617 with your property address to confirm the requested service and current availability.
