Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) Inspections

Your home is likely your most valuable financial asset. Unfortunately, in Missouri, it is under constant threat from silent destroyers: subterranean termites, carpenter ants, and powderpost beetles.

What is a WDI Inspection?

A Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) inspection is a thorough, professional examination of a property’s accessible structural areas to check for signs of active colonies or past infestations. Unlike a standard home appraisal inspection, a WDI report specifically targets the mud tubes, frass, and structural vulnerabilities that indicate wood-boring pests.

When Do You Need an Inspection?

• Buying or Selling a Home: Most mortgage lenders, including VA and FHA loans, strictly require a clean, officially documented WDI report before they will approve funding for a real estate transaction.
• Preventative Maintenance: Termites cause billions of dollars in structural damage across the United States every single year, and this gradual damage is rarely covered by standard homeowners insurance policies.
