Know What You’re Looking At
Turn a Concern Into a Clear Next Step
Buying a property, preparing to sell, or noticing something unusual in the woodwork? A dedicated inspection can help document visible evidence. It can also identify concerns that need further evaluation.
First, tell us what you have noticed and what you need from the inspection. Also, share any specific report instructions from your lender or transaction team.
Before booking, confirm the inspection provider, included areas, report type, and fee. That way, you know what to expect.
Inspection Overview
Visible Evidence. Accessible Areas. Documented Findings.
The final inspection scope depends on the property, access, requested service, and provider agreement. Therefore, discuss those details before booking.
Visible Evidence
The provider checks accessible areas for signs of termites or other wood-destroying organisms. However, suspected evidence needs proper identification before the provider draws conclusions.
Wood Damage
The provider documents visible deterioration in accessible wood components. However, an inspection may identify damage without establishing its full extent or the strength of the remaining material.
Exterior Areas
The provider reviews accessible exterior wood, trim, door frames, and other included components. However, landscaping, stored items, finishes, and access conditions may limit visibility.
Interiors & Garage
The provider reviews included accessible interior areas and garage components for visible evidence and damage. However, furniture, finishes, and personal belongings can conceal conditions.
Attic & Crawlspace Access
The provider evaluates safely accessible areas within the agreed scope. In addition, the report records unsafe conditions or restricted access that limit the inspection.
Findings & Next Steps
The findings help identify concerns that need pest-control evaluation, treatment planning, or repair assessment. Before booking, also confirm the report type and provider.
The Process
From Your First Question to Your Next Decision
Share Your Concerns
First, send the property address, visible concerns, and any purchase or lender deadline. Also, include any specific report requirements.
Confirm the Service
Next, confirm the inspection provider, scope, report type, access needs, and fee before the appointment.
Inspect & Document
During the visit, the provider reviews accessible areas and documents visible findings. The report also identifies areas the provider could not evaluate.
Review the Next Steps
Finally, discuss the findings and obtain any recommended pest-control or repair evaluations before making your next decision.
For Buyers & Property Owners
Understand the Findings Before You Move Forward
An inspection is the starting point for understanding visible conditions. Therefore, read the complete findings and limitations. Also, ask about any areas the provider could not access.
If the report identifies damage, consider both pest-control evaluation and building repairs. After all, resolving activity does not automatically restore damaged materials.
For a purchase, also allow time for recommended follow-up and repair estimates before your inspection deadline.
Frequently Asked Questions
Termite Inspection Questions
Inspection Services and WDO Reports
Is a termite inspection included in a general home inspection?
A general home inspection and a dedicated termite or WDO inspection serve different purposes. Therefore, confirm which separate service and report you need when booking.
What does WDO mean?
WDO stands for wood-destroying organisms. If your lender or transaction requires a WDO report, share those requirements before scheduling. Then, confirm the appropriate provider and report.
Who performs the inspection and issues the report?
Before booking, confirm the inspection provider and report issuer. However, an inquiry through this page alone does not confirm a particular provider, report format, or treatment service.
Inspection Limits and Treatment
Does the inspection guarantee the property is termite-free?
No. A visual inspection covers accessible conditions at the time of the visit. However, concealed activity or damage may exist even if the provider finds no visible evidence.
Can an inspection determine all the repair costs?
No. Concealed damage may extend beyond what the inspector can see. Therefore, a qualified contractor may need further access to establish repair scope and cost. Structural concerns may also require an engineer.
Is termite treatment included?
The inspection request described here does not include treatment. Instead, discuss any treatment proposal, warranty, or ongoing service agreement separately with the pest-control provider.
Preparation and Follow-Up
What should I have ready?
First, provide safe access to included areas and clear stored items where practical. Also, gather prior inspection reports, treatment records, and warranty information. Finally, share photographs of anything that concerns you.
Will the report meet my lender's requirements?
First, provide the lender’s written instructions before booking. Then, confirm the required form, provider qualifications, and acceptable report date directly with the lender. Do not assume the lender will accept the report.
What happens if the inspector finds evidence or damage?
Discuss the findings with the inspection provider and obtain any recommended pest-control and repair evaluations. Because treatment and building repairs address different needs, both may require separate attention.
