A WDO (Wood-Destroying Organism) inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of a property to identify the presence or potential damage caused by wood-destroying organisms such as termites, wood-boring beetles, fungi, and decay. The inspection is typically conducted by a qualified inspector who examines both the interior and exterior of the property, including crawl spaces, basements, attics, and areas where wood is present.
The inspector will document and provide a detailed report with findings, which may include evidence of infestation like termite shelter tubes, exit holes from wood-boring beetles, or visible mold or fungal growth. They may classify the severity of the damage, recommend further actions, or suggest preventative measures to reduce the risk of future infestations.
Overall, a WDO inspection is crucial for property owners, buyers, or sellers to ensure the structural integrity and safety of a building and to address any existing or potential issues related to wood-destroying organisms.
** Termite inspection is conducted by a third party licensed pest control contractor.
