Signs of termites and wood-destroying insects we find
What a WDO inspection is
A wood-destroying organism (WDO) inspection is a focused evaluation for termites, other wood-destroying insects, and wood-decay fungi. It results in an official report documenting any evidence of current or previous activity and the conditions that make a home attractive to these pests. Our WDO inspections are performed by inspectors licensed by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA).
Why it matters in North Texas
DFW’s warm climate and clay soils make it prime territory for subterranean termites, which cause more damage to Texas homes than fires and storms combined. Much of that damage happens out of sight, so a WDO inspection is one of the most valuable add-ons you can pair with your home inspection, whether you are buying, selling, or simply protecting your investment.
What we look for
Evidence of active or previous termite activity
Other wood-destroying insects and wood-decay fungi
Mud tubes, damaged or hollow-sounding wood, and swarmers
Moisture and conducive conditions that invite infestation
Areas where wood contacts soil and other risk points
Serving all of Dallas-Fort Worth
We offer termite and WDO inspections throughout the DFW metroplex and surrounding counties, including Plano, Frisco, Dallas, Fort Worth, Denton, Arlington, and beyond.
They are essentially the same thing. A wood-destroying organism (WDO) inspection covers termites plus other wood-destroying insects and wood-decay fungi, and it produces an official report of any findings.
Our WDO inspections are performed by inspectors licensed by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA), which regulates termite and wood-destroying-organism inspections in Texas.
It is highly recommended, and some lenders require it. Termite damage is common in North Texas and often hidden, so a WDO inspection protects you before you buy.
