Visible evidence
The agreed accessible areas are examined for evidence relevant to the WDO inspection scope.
WDO Inspection
A wood-destroying organism, or WDO, inspection looks for visible evidence of organisms that damage wood and associated damage in accessible areas. It is a separate inspection purpose from a general home inspection.
Price: +$150 when added to a full home inspection. Contact Doug for standalone availability and scope. View pricing.
Report: WDO / termite inspections are coordinated through a licensed pest partner. Confirm the partner’s report timing before booking.

WHAT IS REVIEWED
What we review
Damage and access limitations
Observed damage and areas that cannot be inspected are documented in the applicable report.
The required report
Florida WDO reporting has specific licensing and form requirements. Confirm the provider and requested documentation before the visit.
What to know about the scope
An inspection is not pest treatment or a guarantee that concealed areas are free of organisms or damage. A home inspector license alone does not establish Florida WDO-reporting credentials.
BEFORE THE VISIT
Before your inspection
- Send the lender's or agent's requested form and deadline.
- Share previous treatment or WDO inspection records if available.
- Arrange access and identify areas affected by stored belongings or other obstructions.
ALL QUESTIONS WELCOME
WDO Inspection
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.
Is a WDO inspection the same as a termite treatment?
No. An inspection documents observations; treatment or a protection contract is a separate service.
Is WDO included in a standard home inspection?
It has a separate scope and reporting requirements. Request it when booking so the inspecting provider and documentation can be confirmed.
