WDI Inspection in San Antonio
 
If you thinking of making a purchase of a new house or commercial building in the San Antonio, it’s certain that you will need someone to do a Wood-Destroying Insect (WDI) inspection.
 
Some buyers and sellers think of the WDI inspection in San Antonio to be troublesome or just some hurdle in the path to making the deal. But truthfully, a cautious, total termite inspection by a reliable and honest, expert inspector is one of the important steps in the procedure of buying a home.
 
The formal name for what’s mostly known as a “termite inspection” is “WDI inspection.” WDI means “wood-destroying insects.” Some old dated documents use the term “WDO,” for “wood-destroying organism.”
 
A WDI / WDO inspection should be appropriate, as needed by the VA, HUD, FHA, and most banks, need a lot more than just looking around for termites.
 
An appropriately-performed WDI inspection in San Antonio is a complete inspection of all approachable areas of a home for clear proof of termites, carpenter bees, carpenter ants, and a wide range of wood-destroying beetles, as well as for conditions which are good for infestation by those insects.
 
An honest inspector will look for — and notify you to — things like wood that is too near to the soil, grading if not proper can cause moisture problems, downspouts, damaged rain gutter, and many other easy-to-fix conditions that can save you thousands of dollars in fixing down the road.
 
South West Termite & Pest Control will also notify you if there’s proof of a previously-treated termite or WDI problem, and how good that given treatment seems to be holding up. If you buy the house, you can call us to discuss an annual inspection plan to make sure that the problem will be nipped in the bud, if the termites do come back later. Let South West Termite & Pest Control do your WDI inspection in San Antonio, so that you don’t have to worry about future WDI damage and repair.
 
Briefly, South West Termite & Pest Control take WDI inspections very seriously. If you’re looking for a pencil whipping termite inspector who will just look at the house from his truck and sign it off, then look somewhere else.
 
South West Termite & Pest Control do not work in that way. South West Termite & Pest Control inspect every home as if we were buying it ourselves.
 
Termites harm your home’s structure, severely. Homes that have long-standing untreated infestations by termites or some other wood-destroying insects can be damaged so destructively that they are can’t be repaired.
 
Most termite damage isn’t that dangerous, but even termite infestations which are less severe and WDI damage may make you spend many thousands of dollars to repair, especially if it includes harm done to the sill plate or other difficult-to-exchange structural members, as it often does.
 
An appropriately done termite and WDI inspection is the best way to find an issue while it’s still not big, before intense damage has been done.
