Termite Inspection & Treatment in Frisco, TX

It's tempting to assume a Frisco home built in the last decade is too new to worry about termites — but subterranean termites don't care how new a house is, only how close its wood sits to the soil. Frisco went from a small town to one of the fastest-growing cities in the country in a single generation, which means it's wall-to-wall slab-on-grade homes raised fast on blackland clay: the exact setup termites exploit. That clay swells when it's wet and shrinks and cracks when it's dry, and the deep summer cracks open a channel straight to a foundation. The termites themselves live in the soil year-round and tunnel upward into framing through pencil-width mud tubes — and on a slab home that framing sits close to the dirt with little visibility underneath. Because the work happens out of sight, you watch for the tells: mud tubes at the slab edge, a spring swarm on a warm, still morning after rain, and small piles of shed, equal-length wings on the windowsills of homes in Starwood and Phillips Creek Ranch. The damage is structural and rarely covered by homeowners insurance, so finding it early is what protects your biggest investment. Root Home Services inspects, traces how they're getting in, and treats to wipe out the colony and protect the structure.
