Houston's warm, humid climate makes it one of the most termite-active regions in the United States. A SPCS-licensed Wood Destroying Insect inspection is required by most lenders and is one of the most important protections a buyer can have.
Most inspection companies charge separately for a WDI report. We include it free with every standard home inspection — because a termite inspection shouldn't be an upsell. It's a standard part of protecting your investment.
A Texas WDI inspection covers wood-destroying insects and the conditions that attract them — subterranean termites, drywood termites, carpenter ants, and conducive conditions.
The most destructive pest in Texas. These termites live underground and build mud tubes to reach wood above the foundation. Houston's warm, moist soil is ideal habitat.
Live inside the wood they eat — no soil contact needed. Found in attics, window frames, and furniture. Harder to detect than subterranean termites.
Don't eat wood but excavate it to nest. Damage can be extensive in moist or rotting wood around windows, doors, and rooflines.
Conditions that make a home vulnerable to future infestation — wood-to-soil contact, moisture-damaged wood, improper grading, or wood debris near the foundation. Identifying and correcting these is as important as finding active insects.
Our WDI inspection covers all accessible areas of the home where wood-destroying organisms could be present. We don't just check the obvious spots.
SCHEDULE YOUR WDI INSPECTIONFHA, VA, and most conventional mortgage lenders require a WDI inspection (Form NPMA-33) as part of the loan approval process for Texas real estate transactions. The report must be performed by a SPCS-licensed inspector.
Our SPCS License #13196 is issued by the Texas Department of Agriculture. We provide the official NPMA-33 WDI report accepted by all major lenders.
WDI inspection is included free with every standard home inspection. Schedule today.
