More Than Just Termites

The acronym WDI stands for Wood Destroying Inspect, and is used to classify pests that actually digest wood, i.e. they use your home as a source of food. Because WDI often present little evidence of activity, they can go unnoticed for years and can be difficult to detect. Inspects included in a WDI inspection report include the following:

  • Termites, including subterranean and drywood varieties
  • Wood boring beetles, such as Powderpost Beetles
  • Carpenter ants
Wood damage on the exterior of a home, caused by termites.

They're a Bigger Problem than You Think

WDI inspections are required for VA or FHA mortgages as well as other loans from many financial institutions — and for good reason. Common industry estimates pin termite damage alone at around $5 billion every year in the United States. The average cost for repair after a termite infestation is $3,000, but can be much higher depending on the extent of the damage and what part of the home they fed on.

WDI Inspection Report

A properly trained inspector is required because wood destroying inspects can be difficult to detect and identify. A WDI inspection is a visual inspection of the accessible components of the home including the crawlspace, attic, exterior, and so on. The inspection looks for evidence of active or past infestation such as wood damage, dead or living termites or beetles, mud tubes, etc. The inspection also looks for conditions that may lead to infestation such as soil contact with wood, windows, standing water, and more.

Scott was very honest and thorough with the inspection. I showed up to the house mid-inspection and he kindly greeted me, and then he took the time to chat with me about initial findings and recommendations. The report came back very soon after the inspections was complete. I am very happy with the service! Highly recommend!

Scott responded quickly & was able to schedule property inspection the same week. I received the report within 24 hours of inspection being performed. Real Estate moves quickly and having an inspector that can move just as quick is a great asset. I will definitely use Scott in the future.

Scott’s company was truly an advocate for me during the pre-purchase phase of a property. As an out-of-state resident, I felt confident in Scott’s ability to inspect the subject property as if I were right next to him...he even FaceTimed me for part of it. He answered all my questions and responded promptly to my concerns. Scott coordinated with other inspectors for more extensive plumbing and septic work and provided an extremely thorough post-inspection report. Scott is honest and professional and comes with my highest recommendation.
