Termites and other wood-destroying organisms can cause significant damage to your home if left unchecked. Most lenders and real estate agents require a wood-destroying organism inspection before finalizing a home sale. Bundling your termite inspection with your standard buyer’s inspection can expedite the transaction process and avoid delays during closing.
Wood-destroying insects often work silently, making it difficult to detect an infestation until substantial harm has been done. A professional WDO inspection is your first line of defense, helping to identify and address termite and other wood-destroying organism activity before it becomes a costly problem. Our thorough inspections provide the peace of mind you need to protect your investment and maintain the integrity of your property.
What to Expect During a Wood-Destroying Organism Inspection
Our inspectors conduct a detailed visual inspection of your property, focusing on areas where wood-destroying organisms are most likely to be found, such as the foundation, crawl spaces, attics, and exterior walls. In addition to our thorough, visible evaluation of all wood structures, your NPI WDO inspection will include:
- Identification of Moisture Issues: Termites and other WDOs are attracted to moisture, so we also check for areas of excess water in and around your home, such as leaks or drainage problems, which could make your property more susceptible to termites.
- Use of Specialized Tools: In some cases, we may use specialized tools, such as moisture meters or infrared cameras, to detect hidden termite activity within walls or other inaccessible areas.
- Detailed Report of Findings: After the inspection, you’ll receive a comprehensive report outlining our findings. This report will include information on any signs of WDO activity, areas of concern, and recommendations for treatment or prevention if necessary.
