Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) Inspections
A wood destroying insect (WDI) inspection is a crucial step when buying a home, protecting you from unexpected and costly repairs down the line. Here’s why it’s important:
Uncover hidden damage:
- Termites and other insects can cause serious structural damage that may not be visible during a standard home inspection. A WDI inspection specifically targets these pests and reveals evidence of current or past infestations.
Save money on repairs:
- Early detection is key. Treating a small infestation is far cheaper than repairing extensive structural damage caused by years of undetected activity.
Lender requirement:
- Occasionally, securing a mortgage hinges on a clean WDI report from a qualified inspector.
Overall, a WDI inspection provides peace of mind by ensuring your new home is free of these destructive insects.
