HOME-SALE PLANNING NEXTDAY INSPECT

Termite & WDO Inspections
Warning Signs and Buying a Home

A termite or wood destroying organism (WDO) inspection documents observed signs that can inform a home purchase. Use the findings to discuss follow-up before closing; an inspection does not guarantee that a property is free of hidden or future damage.

01
Confirm Report Requirements

Ask your lender whether your transaction needs a Wood-Destroying Insect (WDI) report, which form it accepts, and when it is due. Share those requirements when requesting the inspection.
02
Other Wood Destroying Insects

It’s not just termites—carpenter ants and powderpost beetles quietly hollow out structural framing away from plain view.
03
Signs Worth Investigating

Mud tubes, damaged wood and shed termite wings are reasons to seek a professional inspection. The University of Maryland Extension termite guide explains common signs.
Plan the Inspection Cost

Request a current quote for your property and confirm what the fee includes. Ask whether a separate termite appointment is needed, and allow time to review the findings before your transaction deadline.
