Pre-Construction Termite Treatment in Frisco, TX — What to Expect
Frisco is still being built. On a new house the soil beneath and around the slab can be treated before the concrete goes down, which puts a continuous treated zone under the whole footprint. Nothing achievable afterwards matches it, because afterwards the soil under the middle of the slab is unreachable without drilling through the floor.
The work is timed to the build rather than to a diary. Treatment goes in after the grading and forming and before the pour, and the window is short — a pour brought forward by a day can close it.
On a house already framed, a borate application to the exposed timber is the equivalent opportunity, treating the wood while every stud is still visible.
What Is Included
- Treated zone established beneath the full slab footprint
- Scheduled to the pour, not to a calendar slot
- Borate timber treatment while framing is still open
- Plumbing penetrations and expansion joints addressed at rough-in
- Documented for the file the buyer will eventually ask for
Our Process for Pre-Construction Termite Treatment
- 1
Step 1: Coordination with the Builder
The treatment window sits between grading and pour. Being on the schedule rather than being called is what makes it happen at all.
- 2
Step 2: Graded Soil Treatment
The soil inside the forms is treated across the whole footprint before the vapour barrier and concrete go down.
- 3
Step 3: Penetrations and Perimeter
Plumbing stub-outs and the forming perimeter get particular attention, since these are the routes that survive the pour.
- 4
Step 4: Borate on Framing
Where the stage allows, exposed timber is treated while every face is still reachable.
- 5
Step 5: Documentation
What was applied, where and when. This is the paperwork a WDI report will look for years later.

Some problems are one visit. Some need a schedule. You are told which before you commit to anything.
Pre-Construction Termite Treatment FAQs
Is pre-construction treatment worth it on a new house?
It is the only point at which the soil under the middle of the slab can be treated at all. Everything after the pour works around the concrete rather than under it.
My builder says the house was pretreated. Is that enough?
It is a good start and worth having documented. It is not permanent — the treated zone degrades, and clay movement opens paths through it. Knowing what was applied and when tells you where you stand.
Can it be done after the slab is poured?
A perimeter treatment can, and drilling can reach soil beneath a slab where needed. Neither reproduces a continuous treated layer under the whole footprint.
How long does the pretreatment last?
It depends on the product, the soil and the drainage. Clay that swells and shrinks through a Texas summer is harder on a treated zone than stable soil would be, which is why re-inspection matters here.
