What is a WDIR Inspection?
A Wood-Destroying Insect Report (WDIR) is a crucial document in real estate transactions. It provides a professional assessment of any current or previous damage caused by wood-destroying insects, such as termites, carpenter ants or powder post beetles.
This report is often required by lenders and can significantly affect property values and sales. A WDIR inspection is a detailed examination of the property's structure, focusing on areas where wood-destroying insects are likely to cause damage.

Why WDIR Inspections Matter
Wood-destroying insects can cause significant structural damage to homes, often unnoticed until it's too late. A professional WDIR inspection is crucial for several reasons:
- It protects buyers from unexpected repair costs that could run into thousands of dollars.
- It helps sellers address issues before listing their property, potentially increasing its value and appeal.
- It satisfies lender requirements for mortgage approval, smoothing the path to closing.
- It provides peace of mind for all parties involved in the transaction, ensuring transparency and trust.
In Greensboro's humid climate, termites and other wood-destroying insects thrive. A professional WDIR inspection is crucial to protect your investment in this region, where these pests can cause significant damage if left unchecked.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a WDIR inspection take?
Most WDIR inspections take between 1-2 hours, depending on your property's size and complexity. Our technicians work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day. For larger homes or those with extensive crawl spaces or multiple outbuildings, we might need a bit more time to ensure a thorough inspection.
Is a WDIR inspection required for all home sales?
While not universally mandated, many lenders and real estate contracts require a WDIR inspection before closing. It's best to check with your Realtor or lender for specific requirements. Even when not required, a WDIR inspection is a valuable tool for assessing the condition of a property you're considering buying or selling.
What if the inspection finds wood-destroying insects?
If we find wood-destroying insects or damage during the inspection, don't panic. We'll provide you with a detailed report and walk you through your options. Our team can often perform necessary treatments right away, saving you time and hassle. We'll work with you to develop a comprehensive plan to address the issue and prevent future infestations.
How often should I have a WDIR inspection?
If you're not in the process of buying or selling a home, we recommend annual WDIR inspections as part of your regular home maintenance. This helps catch potential issues early. However, if you live in an area with high pest activity or have had previous infestations, you might want to consider more frequent check-ups.
Can I perform a WDIR inspection myself?
While it's tempting to try a DIY approach, WDIR inspections require specialized knowledge and tools. Our certified technicians are trained to spot signs of infestation that might not be visible to the untrained eye. Plus, professional inspections come with liability protection, which can be crucial in real estate transactions.
What areas of the home are inspected during a WDIR?
We leave no stone unturned during our inspections. We'll examine all accessible areas of your home, including the foundation, crawl spaces, attics, and exterior structures. We're looking for signs of active infestations, previous damage, and conditions that might attract wood-destroying insects. This includes examining wooden structures, checking for moisture issues, and inspecting the soil around your foundation.
