WDI Inspections: What They Are and Why You Need One

A wood destroying insect inspection helps you protect your home from hidden structural damage. You get a clear understanding of what is happening inside the areas you rarely see, and your report shows current conditions and risks so you can plan your next steps confidently. Delta Residential Home Inspections focuses on accuracy, clarity, and detailed documentation. You receive information you can act on, not vague notes. If evidence of termites appears, our trusted partner at Pest & Termite Consultants can provide treatment and long term protection.

What You Receive With a Delta WDI Inspection

You get a full visual inspection of accessible areas. Your inspector looks for activity, damage, and conditions that attract wood destroying insects. We check termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and powderpost beetles. You receive a written report showing areas with visible activity, areas with prior damage, conditions that increase risk, moisture issues, and possible entry points. Your report uses clear language and photos so you understand what was found and why it matters.

Why a WDI Inspection Is Important for Your Home

1. You protect your investment by identifying problems early.
2. You avoid expensive structural repairs.
3. You stay informed when buying or selling property.
4. You gain accurate information you can share with contractors, realtors, and lenders.

Ask yourself one question. Do you want to discover damage after it has already spread? A WDI inspection keeps you ahead of issues so you can act before the problem grows.

When You Should Schedule One

Schedule a WDI inspection before closing on a home, before listing a home, during annual maintenance, or after seeing mud tubes, sawdust piles, soft wood, or insect activity. Regular inspections keep risk low and help you make informed decisions about your property.
