WDI Inspections in Boerne, TX

FAQs About WDI Inspections

Do I Really Need a WDI Inspection Before Closing on My Home?

In many real estate transactions, a wood destroying insect inspection is strongly recommended and sometimes required by lenders or title companies. Even when it is not mandatory, it is one of the most practical ways to avoid surprises after you move in. An inspection helps uncover any visible termite or other WDI activity, as well as conditions that could lead to problems later.

For buyers, this information can shape negotiations and repair requests. For sellers, completing an inspection ahead of time can demonstrate transparency and reduce last minute worries. Our team is happy to discuss how a WDI inspection fits into common transaction timelines in the area so you can plan accordingly.

How Quickly Can Your Team Complete the Inspection & Report?

We work to schedule inspections and deliver reports in time to match realistic contract deadlines. The exact timing depends on factors such as property size, access, and how full our schedule is when you call. Many standard homes can be inspected in a single visit that lasts a short portion of the day.

After the visit, we prepare the written report as promptly as we can while keeping our quality standards. When you contact us, let us know your key dates, such as the end of the option period or planned closing, and we will discuss what is possible. Our office team and technicians coordinate closely so you have a clear picture of next steps and timing.

What Areas of My Home Do You Check During a WDI Inspection?

During a WDI inspection, we check the readily accessible areas of the structure for signs of wood destroying insect activity or damage. This usually includes the interior and exterior perimeter, foundation areas, attached porches and steps, and other structural wood that can be reached without removing finishes. Where access allows, we also look in garages, certain attic spaces, and sometimes crawl areas.

We pay particular attention to locations where wood meets soil or where moisture is likely to collect. If any areas cannot be safely or reasonably accessed at the time of inspection, we note that in the report so you have a complete and honest picture. Our goal is to give you as much useful information as possible while respecting the practical limits of a visual inspection.

What Happens If You Find Termites or Other Wood Destroying Insects?

If we find signs of termites or other wood destroying insects, we document the evidence and location carefully in the report. We then explain what we found in everyday terms so you understand whether the issue appears active, old, or related to conditions that simply raise risk. From there, we can outline common treatment or repair options and how they typically fit into a real estate timeline.

Some clients choose to address treatments before closing, while others work out agreements between buyer and seller. Our role is to provide clear information, answer your questions, and offer treatment proposals where appropriate, not to tell you how to negotiate. Because we offer family friendly and eco friendly treatment options along with financing, many clients feel more comfortable taking action quickly when needed.

Are Your Inspection & Treatment Options Safe for Kids & Pets?

We know that safety is a top concern for families, so we place a strong emphasis on using methods and products that are appropriate around children and pets. Our inspection itself is non invasive, so it does not introduce any materials into your home. If treatment is recommended, we talk through the specific options we use and any short term precautions you may need to take, such as keeping pets out of a treated area until it is dry.

Our company offers eco friendly service choices that rely on products and techniques designed with families in mind. We also train our technicians regularly on safe application practices and label directions. When you have questions about how a treatment could affect your household, we encourage you to ask, and we will give straightforward answers so you can decide with confidence.
