Why do I need a termite inspection?

The purpose of a WDO inspection, commonly called a "termite inspection" is to look for any signs of visibly accessible evidence of termites or other wood destroying organism such as wood decaying fungi (and conditions conductive thereto) that may be present in the structure.  Often times there will be no obvious indication to the untrained eye that a structure is infested or vulnerable.

Termite inspections are frequently part of buying, selling, or refinancing a home, and receiving a "clear" certification is often a condition required by a lender. However, it’s a good idea to have your home inspected once a year for potential termite problems. An inspection now, can prevent spending thousands of dollars on a termite treatment and repairs later. 

How much does a termite inspection cost?
