You’re about to make the biggest investment of your life. The last thing you need is a nasty surprise hiding in the walls after closing day.
Termites work silently for years before you see the damage. In Hernando County, we’re dealing with 13 subterranean termite colonies per acre. They only need a crack 1/32nd of an inch to get inside your home.
A professional WDO inspection gives you the facts you need to move forward confidently. You’ll know exactly what you’re buying, and your lender will have the documentation they require for approval.

Your inspection covers all wood-destroying organisms required by Florida law: subterranean termites, drywood termites, wood-boring beetles, carpenter ants, and wood decay fungi.
Meadow Oaks sits in the heart of termite country. Our humid climate and sandy soils create perfect conditions for subterranean termites year-round. These pests can cause thousands in damage before you even know they’re there.
We inspect interior and exterior areas, crawl spaces, attics, and anywhere wood meets soil. You get a comprehensive evaluation that protects your investment and satisfies your lender’s requirements.
Most WDO inspections in Meadow Oaks cost between $150-300, depending on your home’s size and complexity. We typically provide quotes over the phone so you know the exact cost upfront.
The price includes the complete inspection and official Florida WDO report that meets all lender requirements. When you consider that termite damage can cost $10,000 or more to repair, and homeowner’s insurance doesn’t cover it, the inspection fee is a smart investment in protecting your purchase.
Our certified inspectors examine all accessible areas for signs of wood-destroying organisms. We’re looking for live termites, mud tubes, damaged wood, discarded wings, and frass (termite droppings).
We also check for wood decay, carpenter ant damage, wood-boring beetles, and conditions that attract these pests—like wood touching soil, moisture problems, or poor ventilation. The inspection covers both active infestations and past damage that might affect the home’s structural integrity.
You’ll receive a detailed report documenting our findings, with photos when necessary, and clear explanations of any issues discovered.
In Florida, WDO inspection reports are typically valid for 90 days from the inspection date. However, some lenders may accept reports up to 6 months old, while others require more recent inspections.
VA loans specifically require the WDO report to be no more than 90 days old at closing. If your closing gets delayed beyond the report’s validity period, you’ll need a new inspection to satisfy lender requirements.
We recommend scheduling your WDO inspection as close to your closing date as possible to avoid timing issues, but early enough to address any problems that might be discovered.
Yes, VA loans require a WDO inspection for most Florida properties. The Department of Veterans Affairs mandates this inspection to protect veterans from purchasing homes with hidden termite damage.
The seller typically pays for the WDO inspection as part of the VA loan requirements. The inspection must be performed by a state-licensed inspector and the report must be no more than 90 days old at closing.
If the inspection reveals active infestations or structural damage, the issues must be addressed before the VA will approve the loan. This protects you from buying a home with expensive termite problems.
Yes, we offer same-day WDO inspections throughout Meadow Oaks when our schedule allows. Real estate transactions move fast, and we understand you can’t always plan weeks ahead.
Call us in the morning and we’ll often be able to inspect your property that afternoon. We provide our WDO report within 24 hours of the inspection, so you can keep your closing on track.
Our owner answers calls personally and makes scheduling decisions in real-time. No waiting for callbacks from corporate offices or dealing with automated systems that can’t accommodate urgent requests.
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 organisms including termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, and wood decay fungi.
Florida lenders require the complete WDO inspection for mortgage approval, not just a termite inspection. The WDO report uses the official Florida Department of Agriculture form that meets all legal and lending requirements.
If you’re buying a home or refinancing, you need the full WDO inspection. A basic termite inspection won’t satisfy your lender’s requirements or give you complete protection against all wood-destroying threats.
