One of the primary goals of a WDO (Wood destroying organism/insect) inspection is to check for damage unseen by the naked eye.
Wood destroying organisms wreak havoc on homes and businesses. The common wood destroying insects I will be inspecting for are subterranean termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and powder post beetles. This is a visual inspection for signs of these insects or signs of damage caused by them.
This inspection is included in the general home inspection, but can also be performed separately as a separate inspection or yearly checkup.
Don’t let early signs of wood destroying insect activity go unnoticed until it becomes a major problem.
