Add Value to Your Home Before It s Built

New Construction Termite Protection Can Help Protect Property Values

(ARA) - Building a new home involves a great deal of planning and decision-making. Making smart choices before construction begins could help protect the future property value of your home. From home design to the inclusion of energy saving products, the most important decisions must be made well before the foundation is poured.

A critical decision is making the right termite control choice. Not a topic usually discussed between a buyer and builder, termite control should be considered an important decision during the selection process.

“When a home becomes infested with termites it affects the market value,” said Lucien Salvant, managing director of public affairs, National Association of Realtors. “The value of a home can decrease drastically, and can often become undesirable to homebuyers.”

A new and revolutionary pre-construction method for termite control has been developed to both protect homes from termites and help protect consumer’s largest investment. Impasse (TM) Termite Products are designed from a multi-layer “sheet” with an extremely effective termiticide “locked in” between the layers. This innovative “lock in” effect provides for an environmentally favorable product.

Impasse Termite System is a continuous wall-to-wall application installed prior to pouring the home’s concrete slab foundation. It covers and protects the home’s entire foundation, plumbing and electrical pipes from termite entry. Concrete is poured directly on top of Impasse Termite System to provide an unmatched level of termite protection, which is backed by a 10-year re-treat and damage repair warranty that can be transferred to a new homeowners.

As an upgrade to traditional termite treatment, Impasse Termite Blockers is an economical solution to controlling termites from entering homes at one the most vulnerable areas for termite entry -- utility penetration pipes. Impasse Termite Blockers are manufactured from the same innovative and long-lasting technology as the Impasse Termite System, but are designed specifically to be installed just around plumbing and electrical pipes increasing the protection of a standard pre-construction termite treatment.

If you are building or buying a newly built home, talk to your builder about the advanced termite protection of Impasse Termite Products, because you only have one opportunity to add innovative and long-lasting termite control, and that is before your house is completely built.
