Within hours, you get a comprehensive WDO report that satisfies VA loans, FHA requirements, and conventional lenders.

Your WDO inspection covers all wood-destroying organisms that threaten North Brooksville homes: subterranean termites that build mud tubes from the ground up, drywood termites that live entirely within your wood structures, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, and fungal decay.
Florida’s warm, humid climate makes our area one of the most termite-active regions in the country. Subterranean termites are especially common here, building colonies underground and reaching your home through tiny cracks in foundations. Drywood termites are harder to detect because they don’t need soil contact – they can infest any wooden structure from roof trusses to furniture.
Our inspection identifies current activity, past damage, and conditions that make future infestations likely. You get the complete picture, not just a quick check-the-box inspection that misses problems hiding in hard-to-reach areas.
WDO inspections in North Brooksville typically cost between $100-$200, depending on your home’s size and complexity. This small investment protects you from discovering thousands in termite damage after you’ve already bought the house.
Many buyers negotiate for sellers to cover this cost, especially with VA loans where it’s often required. Either way, it’s a fraction of what you’d pay if termites are found after closing – when the damage becomes your responsibility.
We provide upfront pricing over the phone, no surprises or hidden fees. Most homeowners tell us it’s the best money they spent during their home buying process.
Our licensed inspectors examine every accessible area for signs of wood-destroying organisms. We look for live termites, mud tubes that subterranean termites build to travel from soil to wood, small exit holes and pellets that indicate drywood termite activity, and damaged or hollow-sounding wood.
We also check for conditions that attract termites: wood-to-ground contact, moisture problems, and areas where previous treatments may have failed. Our report includes photos of any issues found, recommendations for treatment if needed, and clear documentation that satisfies lender requirements.
The inspection covers not just termites, but carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, and fungal decay – any organism that can damage your home’s structure. You get a complete picture of your property’s condition.
WDO inspection reports are typically valid for 90 days from the inspection date, though some lenders accept reports up to 30 days old depending on their specific requirements. This gives you plenty of time to complete your real estate transaction without rushing.
If your closing gets delayed beyond the report’s validity period, you’ll need a new inspection. That’s why timing matters – we can often schedule same-day inspections to keep your transaction on track when deadlines are tight.
For VA loans specifically, the report must be current and any issues found must be addressed before closing. We work directly with your lender and real estate agent to ensure all requirements are met without delays.
Yes, WDO inspections are mandatory for all VA loans in Florida. The VA requires this protection because Florida is one of the most termite-active states in the country, where these pests cause over $500 million in damage annually to homeowners.
The inspection must be performed by a state-licensed inspector who provides official documentation that your lender needs before approving the loan. Any termite activity or damage found must be treated before closing can proceed.
As of 2022, VA borrowers are allowed to pay for the inspection and any required treatments, giving you more control over the process. Many buyers still negotiate for sellers to cover these costs, but having the option means fewer transaction delays.
A WDO (Wood Destroying Organism) inspection is more comprehensive than a basic termite inspection. While termite inspections focus only on termites, WDO inspections examine all wood-destroying pests: termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, wood-boring beetles, and fungal decay.
Most lenders and real estate transactions require WDO reports rather than simple termite inspections because they provide a complete picture of potential structural threats. This broader scope protects you from discovering expensive damage from other wood-destroying pests after closing.
Our WDO inspections meet all Florida real estate requirements and satisfy VA, FHA, and conventional loan standards. You get one comprehensive inspection that covers everything instead of potentially needing multiple reports for different types of wood-damaging organisms.
We often provide same-day termite inspections in North Brooksville when you need to meet tight real estate deadlines. Unlike larger companies with complex scheduling systems, you call and speak directly with the owner who can adjust schedules to accommodate urgent needs.
Most inspections are completed within 1-2 hours depending on your home’s size and complexity. You’ll have your official WDO report the same day, often within hours of the inspection. This speed keeps your real estate transaction moving without delays that could jeopardize your closing date.
We’re available seven days a week because we understand that real estate transactions don’t follow normal business hours. When your lender needs documentation or your closing date is approaching, we make it happen.
