A proper WDO inspection examines all accessible areas for evidence of wood-destroying organisms including termites, wood-boring beetles, and wood-decay fungi. We look for active infestations, past treatments, structural damage, and conditions that could attract future problems.
Specific signs include mud tubes along foundations, damaged or hollow-sounding wood, termite wings near windows and doors, and moisture problems that create conducive conditions. We also check for wood-to-ground contact, poor drainage, and other environmental factors.
Your report documents everything we find using the standardized Florida Department of Agriculture form. Clear findings, specific locations, and honest recommendations about any issues discovered. No vague language or scare tactics, just professional documentation you can understand and act upon.
WDO inspection reports are typically valid for 90 days from the inspection date for lending purposes. This gives you adequate time to complete your real estate transaction while ensuring the information remains current and accurate.
If your closing extends beyond 90 days, you may need a new inspection depending on your lender’s requirements. Some lenders accept older reports while others require more recent documentation. We work with your timeline to ensure you have valid documentation when you need it.
The 90-day validity period reflects the reality that termite activity can change. While a clear report doesn’t guarantee your property will remain termite-free forever, it provides current information about conditions at the time of inspection. Annual inspections help maintain ongoing protection for your investment.
Yes, VA loans require termite inspections throughout Florida because the state falls in the “Very Heavy” termite infestation probability zone. This requirement protects veterans and service members from purchasing properties with hidden termite damage or active infestations.
The inspection must be completed by a licensed professional and documented on the proper state forms. Any active infestations or structural damage must be treated and repaired before the loan can close. As of 2022, VA borrowers are allowed to pay for their own inspections if required.
We’re proud to serve military families with professional inspections that meet all VA requirements. Our military discount recognizes your service while ensuring you get the thorough documentation needed for your loan approval and long-term property protection.
A WDO (Wood Destroying Organism) inspection is more comprehensive than a basic termite inspection. While termite inspections focus specifically on termite activity, WDO inspections examine all organisms that can damage wood structures including termites, beetles, and fungi.
In Florida, lenders typically require the full WDO inspection rather than a termite-only inspection. This broader scope ensures you’re protected against all wood-destroying threats, not just termites. The inspection covers both subterranean and drywood species plus other wood-damaging pests.
Your WDO report provides complete documentation of all findings using state-required forms. This comprehensive approach gives you better protection and satisfies all lending requirements while providing the detailed information you need to protect your investment.
Annual termite inspections are recommended for all Florida homeowners due to our year-round termite activity and high infestation probability. Regular inspections catch problems early when treatment is most effective and least expensive.
Between professional inspections, watch for warning signs like mud tubes, damaged wood, or termite wings around your property. Florida’s warm, humid climate means termite colonies remain active throughout the year, making ongoing vigilance important for property protection.
We provide annual inspection services that help you stay ahead of potential problems. Early detection saves money, prevents extensive damage, and maintains your property value. Consider it preventive maintenance for one of your most important investments.
