What We Look for During a Termite (WDO) Inspection
Our termite and WDO inspection is a thorough assessment of areas where termites and other pests are likely to infest. During the inspection, we check for:
- Visible Termite Activity: Signs of termite activity include mud tubes, droppings, damaged wood, and even live termites.
- Structural Damage: We inspect wood structures for signs of weakening, hollowness, or buckling, which can indicate termite damage.
- Entry Points and Nesting Areas: We locate any areas where termites could gain access, such as foundation cracks, wood-to-soil contact, and moisture-prone spots.
- Signs of Other WDOs: Arizona homes may also encounter wood-boring beetles and carpenter ants, which can cause similar damage to termites. We look for indicators of these pests to provide a complete inspection.
- Moisture Problems: Since termites thrive in moist environments, we check for sources of moisture that could encourage infestation, such as leaky pipes or poor drainage.
The Cost of Ignoring Termite Issues
Ignoring potential termite problems can lead to severe structural damage, impacting the safety and value of your home. While professional termite treatment may cost around $800 to $1,500, repairing structural damage caused by an untreated infestation can range from $3,000 to over $10,000. Investing in a termite inspection for early detection can save you significant money and protect your home from preventable damage.

Termite and Wood-Destroying Organism (WDO) Inspections
Termites and other wood-destroying organisms (WDO) can silently compromise the structural integrity of a home, causing costly and extensive damage before you’re even aware of the problem.
Why Get a Termite (WDO) Inspection?
Arizona’s warm climate makes it a prime location for termites, and many homes experience termite issues at some point. Termites are highly destructive pests, eating away at wood structures and potentially causing thousands of dollars in damage.
In fact, the average homeowner spends around $3,000 to $8,000 on termite-related repairs. A termite inspection helps catch these issues early, so you can address them before they escalate into major expenses.
Whether you’re buying a new home or maintaining your current one, a WDO inspection is a critical part of property upkeep. Identifying the presence of termites or other wood-destroying organisms early can save you from costly repairs and ensure the structural safety of your home.
