About 5 years ago I was told by my Orkin man that I had mold/fungus on my floor joists. They quoted me either a $13,000 "DryZone" job or a $6000 borate/plastic job. I declined and found another company who came in a put down plastic sheeting and sprayed borate for $1000.
Since that time, each year the Orkin guy tells me I have wood decay fungus that desperately needs treatment. The pics look the same every year, and I'm having no problems.
Are they just trying to upsell me? or are they trustworthy? Could it just be the dead fungus from the spraying sitting on the wood? They don't suggest I have any rotting/weak joists. They tell me the thickness of the plastic is to thin? isn't plastic impervious, no matter the thickness?
Any advice is welcomed.
