This is an insurance inspection. It is sub contracted to a licensed WDO (Termite) Inspector. The inspector looks for evidence of wood decay and/or evidence of past or present infestation by termites and other wood destroying insects and pests.

​Who’s Chewing on the House? Termites, the “silent destroyers”, have the ability to destroy your home undetected.

They can chew through:
  • Untreated wood
  • Cardboard
  • Metal
  • Insulating concrete forms (ICF's)
to get to their food sources.

No wonder termites have been around since the dinosaur ages.
The Orkin pest control website states, "you should consider hiring a traditional home inspector and employing a licensed termite inspector before purchasing real estate or buying a home. Termite damage far exceeds damage caused to homes by tornadoes, hurricanes and flooding and is rarely covered by homeowner insurance policies... Early detection can save homeowners substantial repair costs."

​​Your Wood Destroying Organisms (Termite) Inspection report will outline:
  • existing damage
  • current infestations
  • areas likely to incur future infestations
The result of your report should not deter you from purchasing your new home.
​It will give you a negotiating edge. 
  • Buyers can discuss further prevention and repairs to be made by the seller prior to sale. 
  • Sellers may also negotiate on price if termite damage is found.

​There are thousands of termite species in the U.S. The four most problematic termite species are:

Subterranean Termites:
  • Live underground in protected nests
  • Resemble grains of rice
  • Feed on wood
  • Develop wings in the spring
  • Dried insect wings are a sign of their presence
  • Build tunnel systems
  • Live underground in protected nests 

Drywood Termites: 
  • Create nests above ground
  • Infest attic or high spot in home
  • Don’t require a water source
  • Football-shaped pellets fall from nest

Dampwood Termites:
  • Rarely found in the house
  • Usually adjacent to house near moisture
  • Do not construct tunnels​​

​Formosan Termites: ​
  • Colony is usually larger than subterranean termite colonies
  • Able to chew through metal and plastic to reach wood
