Why Use PHOS‑CHEK?
The key to protecting your property from the threat of wildfires is to create a strong defensible space. Defensible space is the buffer you create between your property and the wildland areas that surrounds it.
UrbnTek can pretreat vegetation with PHOS-CHEK fire retardant to increase defensible space around your property. The fire retardant chemically alters wildland fuels to render them non-flammable and will completely stop the spread of a fire.
PHOS-CHEK is an environmentally responsible choice, as it eliminates the need to clear vegetation or cut down forests to prevent fire starts. One application can help protect your home and property for 6-8 months.

How It Works
Phos-Chek is a ground-applied, long-term fire retardant that is used when season-long protection is needed. The fire retardant is used in high-risk areas, underneath utility lines, around critical infrastructure, and protects wildland-urban interface areas. PHOS-CHEK can be sprayed ahead of the fire season or during an oncoming wildfire threat. The fire retardant chemically alters wildland fuels to render them nonflammable and will completely stop the spread of a fire.
Typical Service
In a typical scenario, the retardant is applied to the perimeter of the property, then onto the surrounding areas. If there are any signs of vegetation that can be a threat, we apply on brush and wooded areas as well. We do not spray on irrigated areas, streams, ponds, and domestic water sources. The fire retardant should be applied in late spring or early summer when vegetation has become brown, dry, and stopped growing. (June-August)
