Wood-Destroying Insect Inspections in Florida

Protect Your Investment from Hidden Damage

When you’re buying or selling a home or commercial property, the last thing you want is to discover costly structural damage caused by wood-destroying insects. Our Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) Inspections are designed to give you peace of mind by identifying visible evidence of infestation or damage from termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and powderpost beetles. With detailed reporting, extensive training, and the use of modern tools, our inspections go beyond the surface to help protect your investment.

Why Wood Destroying Insect Inspections Matter

Wood destroying insects can cause thousands of dollars in damage—often silently, over months or years—before obvious symptoms appear. Termites alone are responsible for billions in damage annually across the United States. The unfortunate truth is that WDI damage is rarely covered by homeowners insurance policies, making early detection even more critical.

WHY GET A WDI INSPECTION

Whether you’re purchasing a home, refinancing, selling a property, or simply want to be proactive about maintenance, a professional WDI inspection is a smart and cost-effective decision. Our inspections help:

  • Uncover hidden infestations before they become expensive repairs

  • Satisfy lending requirements for FHA, VA, and conventional loans

  • Provide leverage in real estate negotiations

  • Give sellers an opportunity to fix issues before listing

  • Offer peace of mind to property owners and buyers alike

What We Look For

During the WDI inspection, we carefully examine the accessible areas of the structure—both interior and exterior—for signs of current or past activity from wood-destroying organisms. Our process includes checking basements, crawlspaces, attics, foundations, floor joists, sill plates, decks, and other wood-framed areas for telltale signs such as:

  • Mud tubes or tunnels (a classic sign of subterranean termites)

  • Hollow-sounding wood

  • Frass or wood-colored droppings (indicative of drywood termites or powderpost beetles)

  • Sawdust piles or bore holes (often left by carpenter ants or bees)

  • Shed wings or swarmers around windowsills or light fixtures
