Why Termite Proofing Must Be Engineered Into Construction
The optimal and most economical moment to protect any building from termites is during the construction phase. Once foundations are backfilled and concrete floor slabs are poured, subterranean termites inhabit the undisturbed soil underneath, exploiting hairline settlement cracks to enter timber woodwork.
Tahir Termite Services partners directly with leading architects, civil engineers, and construction contractors throughout Lahore and Pakistan to install continuous chemical barriers during excavation and sub-grade preparation.
Pre-Construction Stages of Treatment
Stage 1: Foundation Trench Treatment
Bottom and sides of foundation trenches are saturated with termiticide solution before masonry or concrete pouring begins.
Stage 2: Backfill Soil Saturation
As soil is backfilled against foundation walls, continuous chemical spray barriers are laid in compacted layers.
Stage 3: Under-Slab / Sub-Grade Spray
The entire earth fill beneath the floor is saturated with chemical formulation immediately before polythene and PCC slab laying.
Stage 4: External Perimeter Trenching
A continuous chemical apron trench is established around the exterior building plinth to intercept subterranean foraging tunnels.
Post-Construction Termite Proofing
For established structures without pre-construction proofing, TTS implements our non-destructive drilling protocol. Calibrated holes are placed along internal skirting and external foundation aprons to inject Hemlock deep into the soil, creating a seamless envelope without compromising existing tiles or marble finishes.
