Concrete is not food; gaps can be routes

Can termites get into a concrete-slab home?

Termites do not eat concrete. They may travel around joints, gaps, penetrations or concealed edges that provide a path to cellulose-based material.

Edges

Visible slab edges can assist inspection; later landscaping or finishes may conceal them.

Joints and penetrations

Plumbing and construction details create interfaces that should be understood, not assumed sealed.

Additions

Patios, paths and renovations may change sightlines and access.

Next question

Identify the building's existing management system and its inspection requirements.
