WOOD DESTROYING INSECT INSPECTION (WDI)
Before the Inspection: What You Don’t See Can Cost You Thousands.
Wood-destroying insects especially termites are experts at hiding. Most homeowners never notice the early signs, and by the time visible damage appears, the structural impact is already significant. Before a WDI inspection, homes often show:
-
No obvious warning signs
Termites work quietly behind walls, floors, and foundations. Even a clean, well-kept home can have hidden colonies.
-
Subtle indicators easily overlooked
Tiny holes, faint lines in drywall, soft flooring, or loose trim often go unnoticed or are mistaken for cosmetic issues.
-
Moisture buildup and vulnerable entry points
Areas with high moisture crawl spaces, basements, or leaky plumbing create the perfect environment for termites to thrive without detection.
-
Homebuyers left unsure
Buyers may walk through a property unaware that active termite activity could be weakening support beams, joists, or framing.
This is exactly why a professional Wood-Destroying Insect Inspection is essential before purchasing, selling, or maintaining a home.
After the Inspection: Peace of Mind Through Clear Reporting & Actionable Solutions.
Once the inspection is complete, we provide a comprehensive WDI report that includes:
• High-quality photos and documentation
Every area of concern is mapped out visually so you can understand the condition of the home with confidence.
• Recommendations & treatment options
If activity or damage is detected, we outline the best steps to stop it immediately and prevent future issues.
• Repair or prevention guidance
We help homeowners and buyers understand what repairs may be needed and how to keep the home termite-free long-term.
• Confidence in your investment
Knowing the true condition of a home protects you from unexpected repair costs and gives you the leverage needed for negotiations during a real-estate transaction.
During the Inspection: A Deep, Professional Evaluation
Our certified inspector conducts a thorough, step-by-step evaluation of the property, including:
-
Full exterior & interior examination
Foundations, siding, crawlspaces, attics, basements, wooden structures, and moisture-prone areas are inspected. -
Search for active termites, past activity & conducive conditions
We check for mud tubes, frass (termite droppings), damaged wood, hollowed beams, and moisture pockets. -
Specialized tools & advanced detection
Moisture meters, probing tools, thermal imaging (if needed), and expert visual analysis help us detect what the eye alone cannot. -
Documentation & photography
Every area of concern is captured clearly so buyers and homeowners can understand what is happening behind the scenes.
By the end of this stage, you know exactly if termites are present, where they’re active, the extent of damage, and what needs to be done next.
