Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) Inspections for Real Estate Transactions

While buildings may become infested at any time, termites are of particular importance when buying, selling or refinancing a structure, and receiving a 'clear' certification is often a condition required by lenders. The purpose of a WDI inspection, commonly called a "termite inspection," is to look for any signs of visibly accessible evidence of termites or other wood destroying insects such as wood borers, carpenter ants or carpenter bees (and conditions conducive thereto) that may be present in the structure. Oftentimes there will be no obvious indication to the untrained eye that a structure is infested or vulnerable, so it is important to contact a knowledgeable professional from F&W Pest Control for such work.

Termite colonies never sleep; they work 24 hours a day. Termites are cryptic creatures and infestations can go undetected for years, hidden behind walls, floor coverings, insulation, and other obstructions. Termite feeding and damage can even progress undetected in wood that is exposed because the outer surface is usually left intact while the inside is eaten away. This type of costly and potential dangerous damage to your property can be avoided with the work of a knowledgable F&W exterminator.

Most lenders require a termite 'clearance letter' and most buyers want to know that the structure they purchase is free from infestation. Both lender and buyer are making a large investment and want to make sure the building involved is sound. If you are the seller, your best approach is to get an F&W inspection early in the selling process, prior to listing the property, so you can consider any work that needs to be completed, acknowledge any insect activity or damage and have it addressed, if necessary, so there aren't any surprises during escrow. This helps ensure your property's sale ability and avoids potential legal problems. If you are the buyer, call F&W to make sure that a wood destroying insect inspection is part of the escrow instructions. If for some reason your lender does not require a clear certification, this is a negotiable item you can request and is certainly in your best interest. Once you receive a copy of the WDI inspection report, feel free to contact your F&W Pest Control WDI Inspector to explain any items that you feel need more clarification so you can make an informed decision about the property you are considering.
