Garden Isles is a premier canal-frontage residential pocket — 1960s-80s waterfront slab CBS with private docks. The defining inspection feature is that dock-and-seawall extended scope on most lots, and the pre-construction soil treatment scope here is built around that reality. Waterway-frontage lots in Garden Isles have elevated humidity at the rear-elevation slab line — pre-construction soil treatment scope adds extended-depth perimeter treatment on the water-facing elevation. Dock framing, finger-pier wood, and seawall-edge contact points are addressed alongside the main building perimeter. Inspector arrival is scheduled around tide and boat-traffic windows so the rear yard can be walked at slack water. The Garden Isles pre-construction soil treatment workflow is built around one principle: the species identification on the FDACS-13645 inspection report drives the chemistry selection, not the other way around. We carry every approved Florida termite treatment method under one operator — Sentricon® Always Active baiting, Termidor® HE non-repellent liquid soil barrier, no-tent localized Termidor® foam or XT-2000 borate injection, whole-structure tent fumigation with Vikane® sulfuryl fluoride, and Florida Building Code-compliant pre-construction soil treatment for new builds — so the Garden Isles recommendation is selected on structural and biological fit, not on what our license card limits us to.
Pre-construction soil treatment on a new Garden Isles build is applied in two phases: phase one is the pre-pour Termidor® HE soil treatment across the footprint and at the footings/grade-beams before the concrete is placed; phase two is the perimeter re-treatment at backfill once the slab has cured and the wall envelope is closed. The treatment is documented on a Florida Building Code-compliant Soil Treatment Report submitted to the local building department with the framing inspection. A 5-year structural warranty is included.
The Garden Isles building stock — 1960s-80s waterfront slab CBS with private docks — runs the standard residential-treatment workflow on the CBS (concrete-block-and-stucco) shell typical of Pompano Beach pre-1990s construction. Slab perimeter, garage stem wall, bath-trap access panels, AC condensate-line penetrations, plumbing chase expansion joints, hose-bib soil contact points, and any added Florida-room or screen-enclosure wood framing are the standard treatment placement points. The truss bottom-chord and rafter network are inspected for drywood activity at the same visit. Treatment-day workflow runs 3 to 6 hours and averages 18 to 40 linear feet of trench per hour depending on the number of utility-wall penetration injections required by the inspection report. Because the dominant Garden Isles inspection finding is subterranean activity, the pre-construction soil treatment chemistry leads with Sentricon® Always Active in-ground bait stations on a 15-to-20-foot perimeter spacing, with extra-density placement at any documented mud-tube finding or slab-edge moisture concentration. Termidor® HE non-repellent liquid is layered at utility-wall penetrations for immediate residual protection at the building line.
Garden Isles sits inside the Tier 2 48-hour response window. We schedule the pre-treatment inspection within two business days of the call and issue the written treatment scope within 24 hours of inspection completion. Closing-deadline windows under FHA-203, VA, or conventional financing are prioritized inside the Tier 2 queue. The documentation package shipped with every Garden Isles pre-construction soil treatment includes the Florida-licensed Certified Operator signed report, treatment-method chemistry log, transferable warranty certificate, and the FDACS-required application records. FHA-203 and VA closing-format addenda are available at no extra charge when the treatment ties to a closing deadline.
Every Garden Isles pre-construction job carries the Florida Building Code-required Soil Treatment Report filed with the local building department, plus a 5-year transferable structural warranty that follows the property at first owner-occupancy. Year-1 monitoring is included and post-construction transition to a perimeter Sentricon® program is available at closing.

Learn moreGarden Isles pre-construction soil treatment pricing depends on linear footage, structure type, and the species findings documented on the pre-treatment inspection. Most Garden Isles residential properties fall in the standard pricing range shown in the table below — no upsell scripts, no "starting at" language, and a transferable warranty included in the contract. Commercial and HOA-managed properties receive volume pricing when multiple units or buildings are scoped under one mobilization.
Tier 2 within 48 hours for Garden Isles. Closing-deadline windows under FHA, VA, or conventional financing are prioritized inside the standard queue and we will work with your title company or lender to align the treatment date with the underwriting deadline. Active swarm response — visible swarmers, fresh frass piles, or new mud-tube findings — gets priority within 24 hours regardless of the standard tier window.

Yes. Florida Building Code Section R318 requires termite protection on every new residential construction in Garden Isles and the rest of Florida. Soil-applied termiticide (Termidor® HE) must be placed after final compaction and grading and before the concrete slab is poured — once the plumbing inspection is complete and the vapor barrier is installed. Any soil disturbed after treatment must be re-treated, and any concrete over-pour must be removed before further work. The licensed pest-control company issues a Certificate of Compliance to the building department and a consumer notice is posted inside the home documenting the treatment method and the annual-renewal requirement. Sentricon® baiting is an alternate code-compliant method that requires a signed 5-year continued-service contract submitted to the building official before slab pour.
