WDI Inspection Report for Texas Closings

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.

No, and the two get confused constantly. A general home inspector looks at the whole property and is not licensed to issue the wood destroying insect report a lender requires. That document has its own form, its own license behind it and its own scope, so a transaction usually needs both rather than one or the other. A general inspector cannot issue the form, whatever else they find.

Most lenders treat it as current for ninety days, though the requirement belongs to the lender rather than to the state. Closings that slip past that window need the inspection repeated, which is an argument for ordering it once the date is reasonably firm instead of at the very start of a contract. Ordering it too early is the common way a closing ends up paying twice.

It becomes a negotiating point rather than a dead end. The form distinguishes between evidence of previous activity, evidence of current activity and visible damage, and those three carry very different weight in a transaction. Knowing which one is marked tells a buyer whether they are looking at a treatment, a repair or simply a history. Those three outcomes carry very different costs and very different conversations.
