Termite & Wood-Destroying Organism/Insect (WDO/WDI) Inspections

Subterranean termites and other wood-destroying insects/organisms (WDIs/WDOs) — including carpenter ants, carpenter bees, powder post beetles (anobiids and lyctids) and wood-decay fungi — are present throughout Indiana and can cause significant structural damage long before it’s visible from inside the home.

We proudly serve Indianapolis, Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville, Greenwood, Franklin, Avon, Zionsville, Fishers, and Beech Grove — and the surrounding Central Indiana communities.

Why This Inspection Matters

Many lenders, and VA-backed loans in particular, require a completed WDI inspection report before closing. Even when it isn’t required by your lender, a WDI inspection is one of the more cost-effective ways to protect a home purchase — termite damage repairs can run into the thousands of dollars and are rarely covered by homeowners insurance.

What’s Included

• Visual inspection of foundation, crawl space, basement, and accessible structural wood
• Check for exterior wood-to-soil contact, mud tubes, and conducive conditions
• Identification of active infestation, past damage, or conducive conditions
• Standard WDI report (NPMA-33 form) accepted by lenders

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a termite inspection required to buy a home in Indiana?
It’s not universally required, but many lenders — especially for VA loans — require a WDI inspection report before closing, and it’s a common request from conventional lenders and buyers alike.

What’s the difference between a WDI inspection and pest control treatment?
A WDI inspection identifies and documents evidence of infestation or damage. Treatment — chemical or otherwise — is performed separately by a licensed pest control company.

What happens if termites or damage are found?
We document the location and extent of damage or activity in your report, which you can use to negotiate repairs or treatment with the seller, or to plan next steps as a homeowner.

How quickly can I get results?
The inspection itself typically takes under an hour, and your report is delivered quickly — usually within 24 hours.
