Termite Inspection in Arvida-Pompano Park, FL

The Arvida construction baseline that shapes the inspection

Arvida was one of South Florida’s largest master-planned-community developers from the 1960s through the early 2000s, and the Arvida-built neighborhoods we inspect across Broward County share consistent characteristics. Standardized CBS slab-on-grade construction with wood roof framing. Consistent lot layouts and setbacks. Professionally designed and HOA-maintained common-area landscape. Governance documents that typically include explicit pest-control vendor coordination through the property-management company. From an inspection standpoint, this consistency means the inspector arrives knowing the construction style before walking the property, and the HOA contract structure is similar enough across Arvida communities that we can predict the master-station-map layout, the warranty terms, and the inspection cadence the management company will reference.

Arvida-Pompano Park fits this pattern. The community combines single-family, villa, and condo housing in a coordinated master plan with HOA-managed grounds, recreational amenities, and the kind of dense slab-perimeter landscape that drives sustained native Eastern subterranean (Reticulitermes flavipes) pressure. The inspector approaches every Arvida-Pompano Park visit expecting the consistent CBS construction profile and weights the inspection scope accordingly: limited drywood exposure on building structure, primary attention to slab perimeter and irrigated landscape interface, mandatory tree-base probing on every Formosan-host species within 30 feet of the unit.

HOA-coordinated vs individual-unit inspections

Most Arvida-Pompano Park associations operate community-wide termite-protection contracts through the property-management company. The master contract typically bundles the perimeter Sentricon® Always Active station network, quarterly station-check monitoring, annual WDO inspections, and warranty maintenance under a single agreement. Individual unit owners benefit from the master coverage without negotiating their own — but can request separate FDACS-13645 inspections on top of the master contract at any time, typically triggered by unit-specific concerns (blistered paint, soft baseboards, recent water-intrusion repair, real-estate listing prep, or due diligence before selling).

When a unit owner calls us for an inspection on top of the HOA master contract, we cross-reference the master station map for the building’s last quarterly Sentricon® feeding-check results, coordinate access through the management company, and run the FDACS-13645 scope on the requested unit. The individual report goes to the unit owner; an aggregate summary goes to the HOA management company on request.

What the FDACS-13645 typically captures in Arvida-Pompano Park

Section A (active activity) most often lists native Eastern subterranean mud-tube evidence on slab perimeters where irrigated common-area landscape meets the building foundation. Sentricon® feeding sites from the HOA master contract show up frequently in Section B (previous activity) because the quarterly station-check log makes this section unusually detailed compared to inland single-family inspections. Section C (damage observed) is typically pre-structural for early findings. Section D (prior treatment) documents the HOA master contract by applicator, date, and station-map version. Section E (obstructed areas) routinely lists paver hardscape, screened-lanai concrete pads, and any sealed wall voids from prior renovations.

Tree-base probing in the common areas

Arvida master-planned communities consistently include mature live-oak, ficus, and royal palm canopy in the common areas. Trees planted at original development (typically 1980s and 1990s) now fall in the 30-45 year age range where UF/IFAS Broward sampling has documented Formosan termite (Coptotermes formosanus) colonies. Every mature live oak, ficus, mahogany, and royal palm within 30 feet of an inspected unit gets the standard tree-base probe — acoustic tap plus root-flare visual inspection. A positive probe upgrades the recommendation from a preventive Sentricon® perimeter to the combination protocol with Termidor® HE liquid barrier layered on.

Construction profile

Arvida-Pompano Park construction is predominantly CBS slab-on-grade with wood roof framing, built between the late 1980s and 1990s with later infill on consolidated lots. Building heights range from one-story patio homes and villas up to three-story condo buildings. Most original construction included FBC 1816 pre-construction soil treatment, with the warranty bonds now reaching the back end of their effective life. Roof systems are wood truss under concrete tile or asphalt-shingle covering.
