A Proper Termite Inspection (WDO) Inspection
A proper termite and WDO inspection consists of several steps, which may not necessarily occur in this order:
An inspection of the exterior of the home, looking for signs of termite activity (such as termite shelter tubes, shown in the picture), as well as conditions conducive to termite and other WDO infestation (such as wood that is too close to the ground, dead tree stumps by the house, improper grading, leaky gutters or downspouts, or tree branches overhanging or touching the home). The inspector will also look for evidence of infestation by other wood-destroying insects.
An inspection of the interior of the home, with special emphasis on the basement, garage, door and window frames, and other areas that are particularly prone to WDO infestation. This part of the inspection will be both visual and physical, and typically involves visually inspecting, tapping, probing, and sounding susceptible wood. The inspector will also be looking for live termites or other insects, dead termite “swarmers”, other evidence of infestation (tubing, frass, signs of prior treatments, etc.), damaged wood, and conditions conducive to infestation (such as excessive moisture levels).
This is reported on a standardized inspection form developed by the NPMA and adopted by various state and federal agencies, and may sometimes include additional documents attached by the inspector to clarify the inspection findings.
What Our Clients Are Saying!
Jim Guntzville was amazing! He was professional, thorough and was able to explain things to me in a way I understood! I would recommend him to anyone buying a new home, but especially 1st time home buyers that may be nervous about everything. I know I was very over whelmed about everything but he has put a lot of my worried at rest. Thank you Jim!!
Thank you,

Jim was our inspector he went through the house with a fine tooth comb, and at the end of inspection he was very descriptive of the problems. I highly recommend him as anyone's next home inspector.

Curt, my inspector was friendly as well as professional. He was thorough and I most appreciated his demeanor throughout the inspection. He did not rush the process, he answered my questions and advised me to make a call if there was anything I needed to go over again.
