Termite Inspections for Real Estate Transactions in Southern Michigan
Termite and wood-destroying insect inspections are a critical part of the home-buying and selling process.

Our termite and wood-destroying insect inspections include a full visual evaluation of all accessible areas of the structure, including:
- Basements and crawlspaces
- Interior walls and baseboards
- Attics and structural beams
- Garages and utility rooms
- Exterior siding, trim, and foundation lines
- Decks, porches, and attached wooden structures
We look for visible signs of wood-destroying insects such as:

Our inspectors document any active infestations, previous damage, or conditions conducive to future infestation and include all findings in the official WDI report.
