What We Look For During the WDO Inspection
Wood-Destroying Fungus
Fungi like mold and mildew can degrade wood over time, leading to wood damaged and structural weaknesses. Our expertise in detecting wood-destroying fungus helps safeguard your property from these insidious threats. Our thorough inspections help identify this damage and will assist in keeping your home healthy and resilient against fungal attacks.
Wood-Destroying Insects
Wood-destroying insects, such as termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles, and powder post beetles can silently wreak havoc on your home's structure. WDO Pro's comprehensive inspections identify these pests early, preventing extensive damage and costly repairs.
Wood Rot & Moisture Damage
Moisture damage and wood rot can compromise the strength and safety of your home. Our inspections focus on identifying signs of wood rot and the underlying moisture issues causing it, which is important to find due to continual damage if not addressed. Additionally, moist and compromised wood attracts WDI's.
Crawlspace Inspection Expert
The crawlspace is often overlooked but crucial in maintaining your home's structural integrity. Many times crawlspaces are too low or difficult to access, leaving important areas not inspected. Our advanced crawlbot can and will go where other inspectors can't or won't. This tech allows us to find and identify moisture buildup, pest infestations, and other potential issues.

FAQS
What is a WDO Inspection, and Why Do I Need One?
A WDO inspection, or Wood Destroying Organism inspection, is a type of inspection conducted in accordance with Florida regulation that is designed to detect the presence of wood destroying organisms such as termites, wood decay fungi, and wood boring beetles.
What is Included in a WDO Report?
A WDO report includes a detailed assessment of the property for evidence of wood destroying organisms and a summary of the findings. The report also includes any recommendations for treatment or repairs that may be necessary.
What are Subterranean Termites?
Subterranean termites are wood-destroying insects that live in the soil and feed on wood and other cellulose materials. They are the most destructive termite species in the United States, causing billions of dollars in damage to structures each year.
What Does Termite Damage Look Like?
Termite damage is often difficult to spot, as the insects live and feed inside the wood they are consuming. Common signs of termite damage include buckling wood, hollow-sounding wood when tapped, small pinholes in the wood, and discarded wings near windows or doors.
What is the Difference Between Brown Rot and White Rot?
Brown Rot fungi cause the wood to become dry and brittle, with the wood fibers breaking apart. White Rot fungi cause the wood to become soft and spongy, with the wood fibers remaining intact.
What are the ideal Moisture Levels and Feed for Wood Decay Fungi?
Wood Decay Fungi thrive in moist conditions and require adequate food sources to survive. The ideal moisture levels for Wood Decay Fungi range from 20% to 40%, and the ideal feed sources are cellulose and lignin.
What are Wood Boring Beetles?
Wood boring beetles are small insects that feed on and damage wood. They can cause extensive damage to homes and other wooden structures, and their presence can significantly reduce the structural integrity of a building.
What Kind of Damage Can Wood Boring Beetles Cause to My Home?
Wood boring beetles can cause severe damage to the structure of your home, as well as aesthetic damage to furniture and other wooden items. They can create holes in wood, which can weaken the overall structure of a building and can lead to further damage if left untreated.
How Do I Prevent Wood Boring Beetles From Infesting My Home?
The best way to prevent wood boring beetles from infesting your home is to regularly inspect your home for signs of infestation. Regular preventative maintenance, such as sealing cracks and crevices in the structure of your home and keeping your home dry and well-ventilated, can help to prevent an infestation.
