Porous Pipe Reticulation System for Homes, Offices & Commercial Buildings.

A termite reticulation system is a network of perforated PVC pipes installed beneath your building’s floor (usually at plinth level) before flooring is laid, or retrofitted later. These pipes connect to external ports above ground. Every 5–7 years, termiticide is pumped through these ports, circulating through the entire pipe network and re-saturating the soil. It works like drip irrigation for termite protection — no drilling required once installed.

Traditional termite treatment expires in 5–7 years and requires drilling through tiles each time, costing ₹30k–60k per cycle. Reticulation costs more upfront (₹50k–100k) but is cheaper over 30 years, requires only ₹10k–15k top-ups, and avoids interior damage and disruption. For long-term homeowners, it’s the smarter investment.

Yes. Retrofit installation involves careful drilling at floor junctions, threading pipes through hollow walls or foundation cavities, and installing perimeter pipes in landscaping. The process takes 2–3 days and is planned to minimize disruption. Installation during construction is easier and cheaper, but retrofit is absolutely possible.

New construction: 1–2 days of installation.
Retrofit projects: 2–3 days depending on complexity.
Initial chemical charging adds one more day. Total timeline is usually 3–5 days.

Cost depends on property size, building type, new vs retrofit, and soil conditions. Approximate ranges: 1500 sq ft: ₹50k–75k; 3000 sq ft: ₹75k–120k; 5000+ sq ft: ₹120k–200k+. This includes design, materials, installation, and initial chemical charge.

Termiticide remains effective for 5–7 years. Over time, soil microbes naturally break it down, which is why scheduled maintenance top-ups are recommended every 5–7 years.

A technician connects a pump to the external ports and recirculates fresh termiticide through the system for 2–3 hours. The soil is re-saturated, restoring protection for another 5–7 years. No drilling, no mess. Typical cost: ₹10k–15k.

The pipes are underground and invisible once flooring is laid. You’ll see only the external ports (usually 2–4), placed in landscaping or utility areas. During design, we show you all port locations in advance.

During construction: minimal disruption. Retrofit: moderate short-term disruption (2–3 days), but well-planned. After installation, maintenance causes zero disruption.

Yes. Designs include basement slabs, retaining walls, and perimeter protection across all levels. A custom layout is provided for each building.

Yes. The system transfers with the property, adding resale value. Documentation and maintenance schedules are provided for new owners.

Yes. Since maintenance never requires drilling, reticulation is ideal for marble, polished concrete, premium tiles, and luxury interiors.

CIB-approved termiticides such as Imidacloprid (non-repellent) or Chlorpyrifos (repellent). Selection depends on soil and site conditions.

Yes. The system operates underground and poses no exposure risk once sealed. Chemicals are approved and professionally applied.

Yes, with building management approval. Installation depends on access to common areas, basements, or shared service spaces.

Reticulation can be installed afterward and complements existing treatment. Many homeowners upgrade for lifetime protection.

Suitability depends on building type, foundation access, soil type, and flooring access. A free site assessment determines feasibility.

Ports are durable but can occasionally need maintenance. Repairs or replacements are covered under lifetime technical support.

Yes. Retrofitting is possible at any time, even after standard treatment.

Inform us before renovation so we can protect or relocate the system if required.

Yes. Systems are typically warranted for 5 years covering pipes, ports, and connections.

We provide a maintenance schedule and reminders. Booking is simple and flexible.

Yes. Reticulation handles termites and can be paired with general pest management.

No. The system transfers with the property, not the owner.

Reticulation is proactive and continuous. Bait stations are reactive and slow. Many customers use both together.

Yes. Sandy soil needs tighter spacing; clayey soil allows wider spacing.

Design is adjusted for groundwater levels to ensure long-term integrity.

No. Reticulation requires professional design, installation, and pressure testing.

Usually no. For large commercial projects, regulations may vary.

Pipes and ports last 20–30+ years. Only the chemical needs periodic renewal.

Yes, with special care and coordination with architects or heritage consultants.

After 5–7 years, protection weakens. You’ll need a top-up or face traditional drilling again.
