Birmingham is one of the heaviest subterranean termite markets in America: a city of pre-1980 homes standing on moist red clay, in a climate that never gets cold enough to slow a colony down. Eastern subterranean termites cause more damage in Alabama each year than fire and storms combined — and homeowner's insurance doesn't cover a dollar of it.
EnviroCare has protected Birmingham homes since 1958 — four generations of the Wedgworth family, Sentricon® Certified Specialists, with up to $1,000,000 in damage repair coverage standing behind the work.
Highland Park, Crestwood, Forest Park, Homewood, and most Over-the-Mountain neighborhoods are full of homes with original foundations, vented crawlspaces, and decades of soil contact. That's exactly the access subterranean termites hunt for.
Jefferson County's clay soil stays damp against foundations year-round — termites travel through moisture, and Birmingham's soil gives them a highway. Sentricon® stations intercept them in that soil before they reach wood.
Liquid treatments drill holes every 12 inches through slabs, patios, and driveways. Sentricon® bait stations go in the ground around the perimeter — nothing drilled, no tank trucks, no scarred brick on a 1920s foundation.
Bait gets carried back to the colony and ends it — including the queen. A liquid barrier just redirects foragers until it degrades in 5–7 years.
Mud tubes on the foundation, swarmers (flying termites) in spring, hollow-sounding wood, and bubbling paint are the classic signs — but most active colonies show nothing at all. The free inspection covers the foundation, crawlspace, and attic access.
If subterranean termites damage your home while you're on the Sentricon® Always Active™ program and we've maintained it, EnviroCare covers repairs up to $1,000,000. It's our guarantee, not a vague warranty.
For Birmingham's housing stock, almost always. Liquid requires drilling through original slabs and masonry and retreating every 5–7 years. Sentricon® stations install in the soil with zero drilling and eliminate the colony itself.
Yes — we issue the official Alabama Wood Infestation Report (WDO letter) accepted by every lender, usually within 48 hours of inspection. One per year is free for active termite customers.
