My vote is a termite treatment. I bet that 75% of the termite treatments that I see are not patched or plugged. With this home being in LA, I bet they were drilling anywhere that they could to pump chemical into and under that home. Don't forget about the Formosans in LA, they treat homes a little different because of them.
