Wood destroying organisms

Wood-destroying organisms can cause significant damage to a home’s structure, sometimes without obvious warning signs.

Protect your investment from hidden wood damage

We provide Wood-Destroying Organism (WDO) inspections for buyers, sellers and homeowners who want peace of mind, as well as buyers who need an inspection for VA loan requirements.

During the inspection we examine accessible areas of the property for visible evidence of wood-destroying organisms and related damage.

Required, or just smart

For VA homebuyers

Some VA-backed home loans require a wood-destroying insect inspection as part of the loan process. We help buyers understand the requirements and coordinate the right inspection and documentation for their transaction.

For homeowners and buyers

Even when a lender doesn’t require it, checking for wood-destroying organisms gives you peace of mind and can catch concerns before they become expensive repairs.
