What Is a WDI/WDO Inspection?
A Wood-Destroying Insect (WDI) or Wood-Destroying Organism (WDO) inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of a structure for signs of pests that damage wood. These inspections document both active infestations and evidence of previous damage.
We evaluate the following wood-destroying insects:
- Subterranean termites
- Carpenter ants
- Carpenter bees
- Powderpost and wood-boring beetles
The final report outlines all findings, including structural concerns, damage levels, and preventative recommendations.
What Areas Are Inspected?
During a WDI/WDO inspection, we thoroughly assess accessible structural areas, including:
- Basements and crawlspaces
- Attics, rafters, and beams
- Foundations and sill plates
- Interior baseboards and trim
- Garages and attached structures
- Exterior siding, decks, and porches
- Wooden timbers and structural components
Our goal is to identify any evidence of infestation or damage that may affect the structural safety of the property.
When Do You Need a WDI/WDO Report?
WDI/WDO reports are commonly required for:
- Real estate transactions (buyer or seller request)
- Refinancing home loans
- VA, FHA, and USDA loans
- Insurance documentation
- Annual termite and wood-pest monitoring
Even when not required, the report offers valuable insight into a home’s true condition.
