Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a WDO and WDI inspection?
A WDI (Wood Destroying Insect) inspection focuses specifically on insects that damage wood, such as termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and wood-boring beetles. WDO (Wood Destroying Organism) is a broader term that may also include wood-decaying fungi and other organisms that contribute to wood deterioration. While the terms are often used interchangeably during real estate transactions, the terminology can vary depending on the inspection requirements and the lending institution..
Is a WDO/WDI inspection required when buying a home?
Many lenders, especially for VA loans and some FHA loans, require a wood-destroying organism or insect inspection before closing. Your realtor, lender, or closing attorney can explain the requirements for your specific transaction.
How long does the inspection take?
Most inspections take between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the size and accessibility of the property.
Will I receive a written report?
Yes. After the inspection, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining our findings, including any evidence of wood-destroying organisms and recommended next steps.
What if termites or other wood-destroying insects are found?
If active infestations are discovered, we’ll explain your treatment options and provide a customized plan to protect the property and help keep your transaction moving forward.
