No structure, no matter how it is built or what it is built from, is safe from termite attack. Termites have even been found infesting houseboats! Concrete and steel buildings still have wood trim and sheetrock walls, which contain the cellulose termites need for food. Termites do BILLIONS of dollars in damage every year to homes just like yours. That is more damage than hurricanes and earthquakes combined! Funny thing is, your homeowners insurance will protect your investment from storms and quakes, but not from termites. So the key to protecting your home is to prevent the disaster from happening in the first place.
"But", you say, "my home was pretreated before it was built." You may even have paperwork saying that it was done. But did you see it done? Did the termiticide stay where it was put, or could it have leached out and moved? Was the soil barrier disturbed by contractors after it was applied to the soil? These are the common problems with pretreats. In addition, did you know that most termite companies only issue a 1 year warranty?
"I had my home treated a few years ago. I'm protected." Maybe. Do you pay your annual renewals? If not, your exterminator is not obligated to fix any new termite problems that may show up. And it has been shown that most chemicals that replaced Chlordane didn't last very long - 3 to 5 years on the average. Are you sure that chemical is still protecting your home? Willing to bet your biggest investment on it?
Do you make sure you have a warranty for your car? Do you buy the extended warranty for your electronics? What about your home?
Warranties are designed to provide you peace of mind, knowing that if something goes wrong, you can get the problem fixed without a lot of "out-of-pocket" expense. So, why leave the protection of your home to chance? Why wait until you have a termite problem to get a warranty? It just doesn't make sense to leave your biggest investment unprotected.
With our 1st Choice Home Warranty Program, you have peace of mind knowing that you are protected if termites ever attack your home. In addition, you are protected, not just for 1 year, or even 3 years, but for 5 YEARS!
Our warranty program does not cover damage from termites. Damage can exist unseen until major remodeling is done, and is therefore, to a large degree, undetectable. The warranty covers only the treatment of termite activity.
It's actually a simple process.
First, contact our office and request a home warranty application. Once we receive your completed application, we'll contact you to set up an inspection of your home.
Second, we will perform a thorough inspection of your home, to determine if you have a current termite problem. If no termite problem is found, we'll issue your 5 Year termite warranty.
If we do find termites, don't worry. We can treat your home to eliminate them, and then issue a 5 Year warranty. To qualify for the 1st Choice Home Termite Warranty Program, your home must be free of an active infestation, so we will treat them with Termidor before we issue the warranty.
