WDO inspection
What is a WDO inspection?
A WDO inspection, which stands for Wood-Destroying Organism inspection, is an inspection that will assess a property for the presence of pests and organisms that can damage wood structures.
What are the advantages of scheduling a WDO inspection?
Structural Damage:
- Termites eat wood from the inside out, often leaving a thin shell behind. This can go unnoticed for years until the damage becomes significant.
- Extensive termite activity weakens the wooden support beams, floors, and walls of your home, threatening its structural integrity. In severe cases, this can lead to collapse
Beyond the wood:
While wood is their primary target, termites can also damage:
- Drywall: They may tunnel through drywall to reach wooden structures behind it.
- Insulation: Termites can destroy insulation as they move through walls.
- Even wires: In rare cases, they may chew through electrical wires, posing a fire hazard.
