Questions we hear before a tent goes up
How long will we be out of the house?
Most tent jobs run two to three nights from set-up to re-entry. Larger homes, attached buildings and weather can add time. Your sheet gives the count for your house, and we call you if it moves.
Where do we stay, and who pays?
The household arranges and pays for its own lodging. We give you the number of nights to plan for as early as the inspection, so you can book. Ask us for a pet boarding list if you need one.
What about children, pets and plants?
Nobody stays in the house during the treatment: not people, pets or houseplants. We tell you when to leave and when you may return, we follow the product label and state rules, and we measure the air before we say it is clear. Ask us for the product list and the safety data sheet.
Do I need a tent, or is a spot treatment enough?
It depends on what the inspection finds. Activity in one place, with a clean inspection everywhere else, is often treated in place. Activity in several areas, or in places we can't reach, is what tenting is for. We tell you which, and why.
Does the inspection report guarantee anything?
No. A report describes what the inspector could see on the day and what could not be reached. It is not a guarantee that nothing is hidden, and it does not promise what will happen later.
What does the warranty cover?
Every tent job comes with a written warranty. Its length, what it covers and what voids it are on the page we give you before you sign. Read it first and ask about anything it does not say.
How much does tenting cost?
It depends on the size of the house, the roof and walls, access around the foundation and the nights the treatment needs. After the inspection you get a written estimate. We don't quote a house we haven't seen.
Do you work with HOAs and property managers?
Yes. Breanna Council plans building jobs with boards and managers: a walkthrough, written notices for every unit, one schedule and one contact. See the HOA page for how a building job runs.
Can you work around an escrow date?
Tell us the dates when you call and we will say what fits. The inspection comes first, then the report, then a tent date if one is needed; we do not promise a date before we have seen the house.
Can I talk to someone in Spanish?
Yes. Britney Casarez, our customer coordinator, speaks Spanish and walks households through the prep sheet. Ask for her when you call.
Still have a question?
Call the office, or ask for an inspection and ask the inspector.
