Our state certification with the Florida Department of Agriculture means your inspection meets every requirement for VA loans, conventional mortgages, and real estate closings throughout Hernando County.
We start with a comprehensive visual inspection of your property—interior, exterior, attic, and any accessible crawlspace areas. We’re looking for active termite activity, past damage, and conditions that could invite future problems.
Our certified inspector examines all wooden structures, checks for mud tubes, swarmers, and damage patterns that most people miss. We use moisture meters and other professional tools to detect issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye.
Within hours, you’ll have your official WDO report that includes our findings, any recommendations, and the state-required documentation your lender needs. If we find issues, we explain exactly what they mean and what your options are—no technical jargon, just straight talk about what matters to your purchase decision.

Your WDO inspection covers all the wood-destroying organisms that matter in Florida: subterranean termites, drywood termites, carpenter ants, powder post beetles, and wood-decaying fungi. This isn’t just a termite check—it’s a complete assessment of anything that could compromise your home’s structure.
In Connerton and throughout Hernando County, we see specific patterns of termite activity that relate to our soil conditions, humidity levels, and construction methods. Subterranean termites are particularly active here due to our sandy soil and frequent moisture, while drywood termites target the wooden trim and structural elements in many of our older homes.
Your inspection includes documentation of any conducive conditions—things like wood-to-ground contact, moisture problems, or structural issues that could invite future infestations. We also note any previous treatment history we can identify, giving you a complete picture of what you’re buying.
WDO inspection costs in the Connerton area typically range from $75 to $150, depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the inspection. We provide upfront pricing over the phone, so you know exactly what to expect before we arrive.
The cost covers a complete inspection of all accessible areas, a detailed written report that meets state requirements, and follow-up communication with your lender or real estate agent if needed. When you consider that undetected termite damage can cost tens of thousands to repair, this inspection is one of the smartest investments you’ll make in your home buying process.
We offer special discounts for military families and new homeowners, because we believe everyone deserves to know what they’re buying without breaking their budget.
During your WDO inspection in Connerton, we examine every accessible area for signs of wood-destroying organisms. This includes live insects, damage patterns, mud tubes, frass (termite droppings), swarmers, and exit holes that indicate current or past activity.
We also document conducive conditions—situations that make your property attractive to termites and other wood-destroying pests. This might include wood touching soil, moisture problems, poor ventilation, or structural issues that create ideal conditions for infestations.
The written report details our findings using standardized terminology that your lender understands. If we find active infestations, we note the location, extent, and recommended treatment. If the property is clear, we document that as well, giving you the clean report you need for closing.
In Florida, WDO inspection reports are typically valid for 90 days from the date of inspection. This gives you enough time to complete your home purchase process without needing to repeat the inspection.
However, some lenders have their own requirements, and VA loans specifically recognize the 90-day validity period. If your closing gets delayed beyond 90 days, you may need a new inspection, which is why timing matters in real estate transactions.
We coordinate with your real estate agent and lender to ensure the inspection happens at the right time in your buying process. Our goal is to provide the documentation you need when you need it, without unnecessary delays or repeat inspections that cost you more money.
Yes, VA loans require WDO inspections throughout Florida because the state is classified as a “Very Heavy” termite infestation zone. This isn’t optional—it’s a mandatory part of the VA loan approval process to ensure you’re buying a structurally sound property.
The inspection must be completed by a licensed pest control operator and documented on the official state form. As of 2022, VA borrowers are allowed to pay for their own termite inspection, which can actually speed up your closing process since you don’t have to negotiate this cost with the seller.
We’re familiar with VA loan requirements and work directly with VA appraisers and lenders throughout Hernando County. Our reports meet all VA standards, and we understand the timeline pressures that come with military relocations and housing allowance deadlines.
If we find active termite activity or damage during your Connerton WDO inspection, we document everything in detail and explain your options clearly. The good news is that finding termites doesn’t automatically kill your home purchase—it just means you need to address the issue before closing.
Treatment options depend on the type and extent of the infestation. Subterranean termites typically require soil treatment or baiting systems, while drywood termites might need localized treatment or fumigation. We provide cost estimates and connect you with qualified treatment providers if needed.
Most purchase contracts include provisions for handling termite issues, often requiring the seller to pay for treatment up to a certain amount. We work with your real estate agent to ensure everyone understands what needs to be done and help coordinate any necessary follow-up inspections after treatment is complete.
Yes, we offer same-day WDO inspections in Connerton when our schedule allows, because we understand that real estate transactions often work on tight timelines. Call us in the morning, and we can often have your inspection completed and report ready by afternoon.
Our family-owned business means we have the flexibility to accommodate urgent requests that larger companies can’t handle. The owner personally manages scheduling and can often rearrange appointments to help keep your closing on track.
Keep in mind that while we can complete the physical inspection quickly, some lenders need 24-48 hours to process the paperwork. We’ll coordinate with your loan officer to ensure everything moves as smoothly as possible, and we’re available by phone even after hours if questions come up during your closing process.
