Wood Destroying Organisms
Wood Destroying Organisms (WDO)
A Wood Destroying Organisms (WDO) inspection looks for evidence of termites, wood-boring beetles, carpenter ants, or fungi that can weaken or damage a home’s wooden structure. During this inspection, a licensed professional checks visible and accessible areas—such as attics, crawlspaces, and exterior wood—for signs of infestation or conditions that attract these organisms, like moisture or wood-to-soil contact.
Getting a WDO inspection benefits my clients by identifying hidden problems early, often before they become costly repairs. It also provides peace of mind when buying or selling a home, since many lenders require a clear WDO report for closing. Whether you’re ensuring a sound investment or maintaining your property’s integrity, a WDO inspection is a smart step in protecting one of your biggest assets.
