What Is a WDO Inspection?

Wood-destroying organisms inspected for include:
- Subterranean termites
- Drywood termites
- Wood-boring beetles
- Other organisms that damage wood materials
The inspection focuses on identifying active infestations, signs of past activity, and conditions that may increase risk.
When Is a WDO Inspection Required?
WDO inspections are commonly required for:
- Home purchases and sales
- VA loans
- FHA loans
- Conventional loans when requested by the lender
- Real estate due diligence
Even when not required, many buyers request a WDO inspection for added peace of mind.

Florida WDO INspection FAQs
Find answers to common questions regarding WDO Inspection services:
What does a WDO inspection check for?
A WDO inspection checks for termites, wood-boring beetles, and other wood-destroying organisms. The inspection looks for active infestations, signs of past activity, and conditions that may increase risk.
Is a WDO inspection the same as a home inspection?
No. A home inspection evaluates general condition and systems, while a WDO inspection focuses specifically on wood-destroying organisms and related damage.
Is a WDO inspection required in Florida?
Many real estate transactions require a WDO inspection, especially for VA and FHA loans. Some conventional loans also require it depending on the lender.
How long does a WDO inspection take?
Most WDO inspections take between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the size and accessibility of the property.
How long is a WDO inspection valid?
WDO inspections are typically valid for 90 days. Lenders may require an updated inspection if the report expires before closing.
What happens if termites are found during the inspection?
If termites or damage are found, the findings are documented on the state issued form. Treatment options can be discussed, but the inspection report remains independent and accurate.
Can a home fail a WDO inspection?
A WDO inspection does not result in a pass or fail. It reports findings so buyers, sellers, and lenders can make informed decisions.
Do I need a WDO inspection for a new construction home?
Yes. New construction homes can still have termite activity due to soil conditions and nearby development. Many lenders require a WDO inspection regardless of home age.
How quickly can a WDO inspection be scheduled?
Scheduling depends on availability, but inspections are often completed quickly to meet real estate timelines. Contact our office to request an inspection.
