Description
Termite & Wood‑Destroying Organism Inspection
A Termite and WDO inspection is a detailed evaluation of your home’s structure to identify any signs of damage or infestation caused by termites, carpenter ants, beetles, or other wood‑destroying organisms. These pests can compromise the integrity of your property, often without visible warning until significant damage has occurred.
What’s Included
Exterior and foundation check — Inspectors look for mud tubes, wood‑to‑soil contact, and moisture conditions that attract termites.
Interior inspection — Baseboards, window frames, crawl spaces, and attics are examined for visible damage, frass (wood dust), or hollow‑sounding wood.
Moisture assessment — Areas prone to dampness are checked since excess moisture is a leading cause of wood decay and pest activity.
Identification of active or past infestations — The inspector documents any evidence of current or previous pest presence and evaluates whether treatment or repairs are needed.
What You’ll Receive
After the inspection, you’ll receive a comprehensive report detailing findings, photos, and recommendations for treatment or prevention. This helps homeowners and buyers make informed decisions and protect their investment.
Why It Matters
Termites and other wood‑destroying organisms can cause thousands of dollars in structural damage if left unchecked. Regular inspections ensure early detection and peace of mind, keeping your home safe and sound.
