A wood-destroying insect inspection for termites and the other pests that quietly damage a home's structure.
Termites and other wood-destroying insects can cause serious structural damage long before anyone notices. A WDI inspection evaluates the home for signs of active infestation and past damage from termites and related pests.
In Texas, where termites are common, this inspection is a smart safeguard — and it's frequently required by lenders on a home purchase.
