Three wood-destroyers the report answers for.
The official report certifies the property against every wood-destroying insect Texas recognizes. These are the three, and what their evidence looks like to a licensed inspector.
PRIMARY Subterranean termites
The DFW threat, 90+ percent of Texas termite damage
- Behavior
- Soil-dwelling colonies that commute into structures through mud tubes, eating wood from the inside along the grain. Endemic to every North Texas neighborhood.
- What makes them tricky
- Evidence hides at the slab edge, in bath traps and behind expansion joints, exactly the places the protocol forces an inspector to reach, probe and document.
- How we approach them
-
- Mud tubes and shelter evidence
- Probe-and-sound on target wood
- Slab edges and bath traps checked
REPORTED Carpenter ants
Texas's biggest ant, nesting in moisture-softened wood
- Behavior
- Excavate galleries rather than eating wood, favoring headers, sills and deck connections that moisture already softened. Coarse frass piles below kick-out points.
- What makes them tricky
- Smooth, clean galleries against the grain distinguish them from termite damage on sight, a distinction the report must make because the treatments differ completely.
- How we approach them
-
- Frass piles at baseboards and sills
- Gallery texture identification
- Moisture mapping at suspect wood
REPORTED Carpenter bees & borers
Round tunnels and powder, the visible ones
- Behavior
- Carpenter bees drill half-inch tunnels in bare exterior wood; powderpost and other borers cycle generations inside hardwoods, leaving pinholes and talc-fine powder.
- What makes them tricky
- Old holes are history, fresh powder is activity, and the report has to say which. Rails, fascia and hardwood floors get the close pass.
- How we approach them
-
- Fresh-powder vs old-hole dating
- Rails and fascia checked from below
- Hardwood pinhole survey
A regulated inspection, done properly
State protocol, licensed eyes, lender-ready paper.
A WDI report is not a walk-around with a flashlight. It is a state-regulated inspection performed by licensed inspectors to defined protocols, and it has to hold up in a transaction.
Stage 01
01
Inspect systematically
Every freely accessible area, by the state's protocol.
Licensed inspectors work the full accessible envelope, exterior perimeter, interior target zones, crawl spaces, attics and garages, using moisture meters and probing tools that find visible evidence without tearing the property apart. Accessibility limits are documented, not glossed.
Stage 02
02
Document findings
Photos, locations and treatment recommendations when warranted.
Every finding lands in the report with photographs and precise locations, active evidence, previous damage, previous treatment and conducive conditions. When activity is found, the report carries treatment recommendations the parties can price and negotiate against.
Stage 03
03
Deliver on deadline
Reports within 24 hours, sent where the closing needs them.
Closings run on dates, so we run on them too, same-day scheduling when availability allows, reports within 24 hours, and direct submission to your lender or title company on request. The report releases once completed, reviewed and paid for.
Ready when you are. Real prices online in about 60 seconds, phones answered 24/7.

- 03
Licensed inspection
A licensed inspector works the property to state protocol with moisture meters and probes, documenting every category the report requires.

Report in 24 hours
The completed official report goes to you, and directly to your lender or agent on request, within 24 hours of the inspection.
Frequently asked
Questions, answered plainly.
If you don't see yours, call (817) 665-6527 or text us, a human will answer.
VA loans require one in Texas, which is where most orders come from. Beyond that, any lender, buyer or contract can call for one, and buyers increasingly order them by choice. It is the only state-regulated document that certifies a property's wood-destroying insect status before you own the problem.
The free inspection answers the homeowner's question of whether the house has termites and what to do about it. The WDI report is an official regulated document for a transaction, defined categories, licensed inspector certification, and a format lenders and the VA accept. Same trained eyes, very different paperwork.
Same-day inspection scheduling is often available, and the completed report is delivered within 24 hours of the inspection, directly to your lender, title company or agent if you ask. If your closing is this week, say so when you book and we work the schedule around it. Reports are delivered once completed, reviewed and paid for.
Termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, whatever wood-destroying insect the inspection finds, the report documents it with photos, locations and treatment recommendations, and the transaction absorbs it the usual way, treatment or repairs negotiated between the parties. We can quote the treatment itself, priced in writing, and treatment plus a clean re-inspection keeps most closings on schedule.
In our experience it is usually the buyer. Pricing starts at $175 and scales with the square footage of the home, quoted when you book, and the fee never changes based on findings. Call the office to schedule against your closing date.
