Home inspections are vital services both for real estate transactions and simple reassurance about your property. There are many different types of inspections out there, including a wood destroying organism inspection, also known as a WDO inspection.

The Basics of a WDO Inspection

A WDO inspection identifies signs of termites and other wood destroying organisms in various stages of destruction, including a past termite presence, current termite presence, or warning signs that termites could be attracted to your property. The results of these inspections allow you to make informed decisions about what to do with your property, whether you’re planning on selling it or just want to feel comfortable that it’s in good shape.

Oftentimes, a WDO inspection is required for different situations. For example, most banks require a WDO inspection to be done before financing you to buy a home. This is done to make sure they are making a good investment. No one, including your bank, wants to buy into or invest in a termite-damaged property, and WDO inspection reports grant peace of mind that a property is safe.

Only certified termite inspectors are qualified to perform an official WDO inspection, so if you need an inspection to be done, make sure you go to the right inspector.
