Your WDO inspection in Dixie, FL covers all wood-destroying organisms required by Florida law: subterranean termites, drywood termites, wood-boring beetles, carpenter ants, and wood-destroying fungi. We also identify conducive conditions like moisture problems, wood-to-ground contact, and structural issues that could lead to future infestations.
Florida’s humid climate makes Hernando County particularly susceptible to termite activity, especially during the warmer months when swarms are most active. Our inspectors know the local species and seasonal patterns, so we catch problems other companies might miss. We also understand the specific requirements for different loan types—VA loans have stricter standards than conventional mortgages, and we make sure your report meets those specifications.
Every report includes clear photographs, detailed findings, and recommendations for any issues we discover. We also note areas that couldn’t be inspected due to access limitations, ensuring full transparency about what we could and couldn’t evaluate during your inspection.
WDO inspections in Dixie, FL typically range from $150 to $300, depending on your property size and complexity. Most standard single-family homes fall on the lower end of that range. We provide quotes over the phone in most cases, so you’ll know the exact cost before we schedule your inspection.
The cost is minimal compared to the thousands of dollars you could face in termite damage repairs if problems go undetected. We also offer military discounts and special pricing for new homeowners. Payment is due at the time of service, and we accept cash, check, or credit card for your convenience.
Our certified inspectors examine all accessible areas for signs of active termite colonies, previous damage, and conditions that attract wood-destroying organisms. We look for mud tubes along foundations, frass (termite droppings), discarded wings from swarmers, and hollow-sounding wood that indicates internal damage.
We also check for moisture problems, wood-to-ground contact, and structural issues that create conducive conditions for future infestations. In Florida, we pay special attention to areas where subterranean termites typically enter homes—around plumbing penetrations, foundation cracks, and areas with poor drainage. Every finding is documented with photos and detailed descriptions in your official report.
WDO inspection reports are valid for 90 days from the inspection date for most real estate transactions and loan requirements. This gives you plenty of time to complete your home purchase process without needing a second inspection. However, some lenders may have different requirements, so it’s always best to check with your mortgage company.
If your closing gets delayed beyond 90 days, you’ll need a new inspection to meet lender requirements. We recommend scheduling your WDO inspection as close to your expected closing date as possible, but early enough to address any issues that might be discovered. We can usually provide same-day service when you need to meet tight deadlines.
Yes, WDO inspections are mandatory for VA loans throughout Florida because the entire state is classified as a moderate to heavy termite infestation zone. The VA requires this inspection to ensure veterans aren’t purchasing homes with existing termite damage or active infestations that could compromise the property’s structural integrity.
As of June 2022, VA loan borrowers are now allowed to pay for their own termite inspections, though sellers often cover this cost as part of negotiations. The inspection must be performed by a licensed pest control operator certified by the Florida Department of Agriculture, and the report must be completed on the standard NPMA-33 form to meet VA requirements.
If we discover active termite activity or damage during your WDO inspection, we document everything in detail and explain your options clearly. For real estate transactions, any active infestations or structural damage typically need to be treated and repaired before closing can proceed. This protects you from inheriting someone else’s termite problems.
We provide honest assessments without trying to sell you treatment services—our focus is on accurate reporting, not upselling. If treatment is needed, you can choose any licensed pest control company for the work. We’ll also explain the difference between old, inactive damage and current problems that require immediate attention, so you can make informed decisions about your purchase.
