Our inspectors check foundation areas, window frames, door frames, and anywhere wood meets soil. We look for mud tubes, damaged wood, termite wings, and conditions that attract wood-destroying organisms.
You’ll receive a detailed report using the official Florida Department of Agriculture Form 13645. If we find issues, we’ll explain exactly what they are, where they’re located, and what your options are. If everything looks good, you’ll have documentation that’s valid for 90 days for your real estate transaction.

Gulf Pine’s location in Hernando County puts properties at moderate to high risk for termite activity.

In Gulf Pine’s climate, we pay special attention to areas where moisture collects, wood touches soil, and where previous repairs may have created vulnerable spots. We also check for conducive conditions like improper drainage, wood debris near the foundation, and gaps in exterior wood treatment.
The inspection covers all accessible interior and exterior areas, including attics, crawl spaces, basements, and attached structures like decks and porches. Any findings are documented with specific locations and recommendations for treatment or further evaluation.
A WDO inspection report is typically valid for 90 days from the date of inspection for real estate transactions in Gulf Pine. This gives you enough time to complete your home purchase without needing a reinspection.
If your closing gets delayed beyond 90 days, most lenders will require a new inspection or at minimum a reinspection to verify that conditions haven’t changed. We offer reinspection services at a reduced rate if the original inspection was performed by our team.
The 90-day validity period ensures that the information is current and accurate for your lender’s requirements. Some lenders may have slightly different timeframes, so it’s worth confirming with your loan officer when you schedule the inspection.
Yes, WDO inspections are required for VA loans in Gulf Pine because Florida is classified as a moderate to heavy termite infestation zone. The VA requires these inspections to protect veterans from purchasing homes with hidden termite damage.
The inspection must be performed by a state-licensed inspector and documented on the official NPMA-33 form. Any active infestations or structural damage must be treated and repaired before the VA loan can close.
As of 2022, VA borrowers are allowed to pay for the inspection cost, though this can often be negotiated with the seller. The inspection protects your investment since VA loans are designed to ensure you’re purchasing a safe, sound, and sanitary property.
