Termite Inspection & WDO Assessment
A termite inspection identifies visible evidence of wood-destroying organisms (WDOs) and conditions conducive to infestation — protecting your property value, safety, and insurability throughout Central and South Florida — from Greater Orlando through Miami, coast to coast. If treatment is needed, it should be handled by a properly licensed pest control provider.
What a termite inspection covers
A termite and WDO inspection is a visual assessment of accessible areas of the home for evidence of wood-destroying organisms and conditions that make infestation more likely. The inspector documents visible findings in a written report.
Exterior of Structure
Foundation, exterior wood, siding, trim, and entry points. Mud tubes, damaged wood, and conducive conditions along the exterior are documented.
Interior Accessible Areas
Visible wood framing, baseboards, window and door framing, and other interior surfaces that may show evidence of WDO activity or damage.
Attic
Attic framing and wood structure — an important area for identifying wood-destroying organism activity that may not be visible from the living space below.
Garage and Attached Structures
Garage framing, attached structures, and any wood-to-soil contact or conducive conditions that may attract or harbor wood-destroying organisms.
Moisture and Conducive Conditions
Visible moisture damage, wood-to-soil contact, and other conducive conditions that can increase the likelihood of WDO infestation — documented alongside any direct evidence found.
When homeowners request a termite inspection
Florida's warm, humid climate creates ideal conditions for wood-destroying organisms year-round. A visual WDO inspection is commonly requested during real estate transactions and by homeowners monitoring their property.
- Florida's climate — warm temperatures, humidity, and frequent moisture — supports year-round termite activity. The state has some of the highest rates of termite infestation in the country.
- Many mortgage lenders and real estate transactions require a WDO inspection report as part of the closing process. The inspection provides documentation that the property was visually assessed.
- Termite damage can affect structural integrity, property value, and insurability. Identifying visible evidence early gives homeowners the opportunity to address conditions before damage worsens.
- Conducive conditions — wood-to-soil contact, moisture intrusion, decayed wood, and debris near the foundation — are documented alongside any active infestation evidence, giving homeowners a more complete picture.
- For buyers, a termite inspection is an important part of due diligence — particularly in Florida where WDO activity is common and can be present even in well-maintained homes.
