We know the local termite species that threaten your home, from Formosan “super termites” to Eastern Subterranean varieties that thrive in our humid climate.
First, we schedule your inspection—often the same day you call. No waiting weeks for an appointment when you need answers now.
During the inspection, we examine all vulnerable areas: foundation walls, plumbing penetrations, door frames, windowsills, and potential moisture sources. We’re looking for mud tubes, wood damage, termite droppings, and signs of active colonies.

Your WDO inspection covers all wood-destroying organisms required by Florida law: termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, and fungal decay. This isn’t just a quick walkthrough—it’s a comprehensive assessment of your property’s structural integrity.
For South Clinton Heights homeowners, this means protection against the four main termite species that cause problems here: Formosan, Eastern Subterranean, Drywood, and Asian termites. Each requires different identification methods and poses unique risks to your home.
Real estate transactions move fast, and delays cost money. Our reports are accepted by all major lenders, meet VA loan requirements, and provide the clearance letters you need to close on schedule. We understand the timeline pressure and work accordingly.
Most WDO inspections in South Clinton Heights range from $75 to $150, depending on your home’s size and complexity. We provide quotes over the phone, so you know the exact cost before scheduling.
The investment makes sense when you consider that termite damage costs Florida homeowners over $500 million annually. A thorough inspection now prevents discovering thousands in damage later.
For real estate transactions, the inspection cost is minimal compared to potential deal delays or renegotiations if termite issues surface during closing.
We examine all areas where wood-destroying organisms typically enter or cause damage: foundation walls, plumbing penetrations, door frames, window sills, and anywhere moisture creates favorable conditions.
Specific signs include mud tubes along foundation walls, hollow-sounding wood, small holes with pellet droppings, and moisture damage that attracts termites. In South Clinton Heights, we’re particularly vigilant about Formosan termites, which can cause rapid, extensive damage.
The report documents current infestations, previous damage, and conditions conducive to future problems. This gives you a complete picture of your property’s WDO status.
In Florida, WDO inspection reports are typically valid for 90 days from the inspection date, though some lenders require more recent reports—sometimes within 30 days of closing.
VA loans specifically require the inspection to be completed after the purchase contract is signed, and the report must be current at closing. This timing ensures the property’s condition hasn’t changed since inspection.
If your closing gets delayed beyond the report’s validity period, you’ll need a new inspection. We can often schedule follow-up inspections quickly to keep your transaction on track.
Annual termite inspections are highly recommended in South Clinton Heights due to Florida’s year-round termite activity and humid climate that creates ideal conditions for infestations.
Termite colonies can remain hidden for years, causing extensive damage before becoming visible. Regular inspections catch problems early, when treatment is less expensive and more effective.
Many homeowners insurance policies require annual inspections for coverage, and some offer discounts for proactive termite prevention. It’s a small investment that protects a much larger one—your home.
VA loan termite inspections must meet specific federal requirements, examining the entire structure for wood-destroying organisms and providing a detailed report on current infestations and previous damage.
The inspection covers subterranean termites, drywood termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, and fungal decay. Any active infestations or structural damage must be treated before loan approval.
We’re familiar with VA requirements and provide reports that meet all federal standards. The inspection must be completed after your purchase contract is signed and remain valid through closing.
Professional termite inspections can identify many types of hidden damage through visual signs, moisture detection, and structural assessment techniques, though some damage may only be visible during invasive investigation.
We look for telltale signs like hollow-sounding wood, small holes, mud tubes, and moisture patterns that indicate termite activity. Advanced infestations often leave visible evidence even when the termites aren’t immediately apparent.
However, termites can work inside walls and structural elements without external signs. That’s why regular inspections are crucial—catching problems before they become extensive hidden damage that requires major repairs.
