WDI/Termite Inspection


The Green Valley Group provides outsourced Wood Destroying Insect (WDI)/Termite Inspections through several local providers. Although The Green Valley Group does not provide termite inspections, we do provide recommendations upon request for several local companies whose work we are familiar with and with whom we have worked with for a number of years. We also help by coordinating these appointments with these providers for our clients. 


What is a WDI/termite inspection?

A WDI/ termite inspection is a visual inspection of the readily accessible areas of a home for evidence of wood-destroying insects and wood-destroying organisms. An inspector will visually inspect the entire interior of a home, including accessing and entering any sub-space areas, such as basements and crawlspaces, as well as the exterior of the property.  In some cases, the attic may also be accessed and inspected.  


Why do I need a termite inspection?

It's in your best interest to have a WDI/Termite inspection by a professional inspector, even if you are hiring a home inspector. Many lenders require it, so they can be sure there are no active termite infestations in any home they finance. If you're buying, you want to be sure you're not buying termites and termite damage along with your new house.


How long does the inspection take & what's involved?

Usually, it takes less than an hour. A skilled and experienced inspector will check the entire house thoroughly, from foundation to roof, and knows exactly where to look for telltale signs of the presence of termites or other wood destroying insects, and any damage. Some of the tools that may be used during the inspection may include a flashlight, a rubber mallet, a screwdriver or other probe, and perhaps a small long-handled mirror for inspecting the hard-to-reach areas where termites are often found.


How can I recognize a reliable termite firm?

Ask pointed questions about their business history and their people and find out how well trained their inspection personnel are, and if the company belongs to local, state or national pest control associations.
