Your inspection covers all wood-destroying organisms including subterranean termites, drywood termites, wood-boring beetles, and fungal decay. We examine every accessible area of your property and document our findings on the official state form.
In Zephyrhills North, we pay special attention to the sandy soil conditions that allow subterranean termites to build mud tubes to wooden structures. We also check for the moisture issues common in Florida’s humid climate that can lead to wood decay and create conditions attractive to pests.
Your report includes any evidence of current or past infestations, structural damage assessment, and conditions that could lead to future problems. We also note any areas that weren’t accessible during the inspection and explain why, ensuring complete transparency for your lender or insurance company.
Our WDO inspection pricing is competitive and transparent, typically ranging from $100 to $200 depending on your property size and specific requirements. We provide most quotes over the phone, so you’ll know the exact cost before we schedule your appointment.
Unlike companies that quote low and add fees later, we believe in honest pricing from the start. Military families and new homeowners receive special discounts as part of our commitment to serving those who serve our community.
The investment in a professional inspection is minimal compared to the thousands of dollars in potential damage that termites can cause to your Zephyrhills North home.
Our certified inspectors examine your property for live termites, evidence of past infestations, structural damage, and conditions that could attract wood-destroying organisms in the future. We look for telltale signs like mud tubes, termite droppings (frass), hollow-sounding wood, and small holes in wooden surfaces.
We also assess moisture levels, wood-to-ground contact, and other environmental factors that create ideal conditions for termites and other pests. In Zephyrhills North’s climate, we pay particular attention to areas where humidity and sandy soil create perfect conditions for subterranean termites.
Our inspection covers all accessible areas including your attic, crawl spaces, basement if applicable, and exterior wooden structures like decks, porches, and fencing. Any areas we cannot access are clearly noted in the report with explanations.
WDO inspection reports are typically valid for 90 days from the date of inspection for real estate transactions and lending purposes. This timeframe ensures that the information accurately reflects the current condition of your property.
If your closing is delayed beyond 90 days, you may need a new inspection to satisfy lender requirements. However, we work with our clients to accommodate timing needs and can often provide expedited re-inspections if necessary.
For annual maintenance inspections outside of real estate transactions, the timing is more flexible, but we recommend yearly inspections for Zephyrhills North homeowners given Florida’s high termite activity levels.
Yes, WDO inspections are required for VA loans in Florida because the state falls in the “moderate to heavy” termite infestation probability zone. The VA requires these inspections to protect veterans and service members from purchasing homes with costly termite damage.
Your lender will need the official NPMA-33 form (Florida Form 13645) before they can approve your loan. If we find any active infestations or structural damage, these issues must be resolved before your loan can close.
As of June 2022, VA borrowers are allowed to pay for their own termite inspections when required, though this cost can often be negotiated with the seller. We work with VA buyers regularly and understand the specific documentation requirements for these loans.
If we discover active termites or structural damage during your inspection, we document everything in detail and provide clear recommendations for treatment. The good news is that most termite issues can be resolved with proper treatment from a licensed pest control company.
For real estate transactions, any active infestations must be treated and structural damage repaired before closing can proceed. We provide the documentation your lender needs and can recommend trusted treatment professionals if needed.
Finding termites early actually saves you money compared to discovering them after purchase. Our thorough inspection process helps identify problems before they become major structural issues, protecting your investment in your Zephyrhills North home.
Florida homeowners should schedule termite inspections every 1-2 years due to our state’s high termite activity levels. The warm, humid climate and sandy soils in the Zephyrhills North area create ideal conditions for termites year-round.
Annual inspections help catch problems early when treatment is less expensive and structural damage is minimal. Even if you have a termite bond or treatment contract, regular inspections ensure your protection stays current.
For new homeowners, we recommend scheduling your first inspection within the first year of ownership to establish a baseline and identify any potential issues the previous owner may not have addressed. Early detection is always more cost-effective than dealing with established infestations.
