Buying, Selling, Or Refinancing In Jacksonville? Contact Lindsey!
Many mortgage lenders in Florida require a Wood-Destroying Organisms (WDO) Inspection before you can buy or refinance a property. WDO Inspections are a good idea even if it isn’t a requirement to close or you plan to buy with cash, as you will know whether or not the property may require pest control solutions or is experiencing structural damage from the most common wood-destroying organisms. WDO inspections are not the same as the structural inspection needed for real estate transactions. While some structural inspections may include a description of potential wood-destroying organisms at the property, only a licensed pest control company can complete this type of inspection.

What Is A WDO Inspection?
When you make a real estate transaction, a WDO inspection is a visual inspection of the property to identify possible damage from wood-destroying organisms so buyers can make an educated decision about buying the property. You do not need to be present during the inspection, but it’s great if you can participate so our inspectors can explain their findings and answer any questions you may have.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about WDO inspections
Why do I need a WDO inspection in Jacksonville?
Jacksonville’s humid climate is ideal for wood-destroying organisms, particularly termites, which thrive in warm, moist environments. A WDO inspection helps identify early signs of damage and pest activity, allowing homeowners to address issues before they lead to extensive damage.
How long does a WDO inspection take?
A typical WDO inspection in Jacksonville takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size and condition of your home. The inspector will check for signs of infestation in visible, accessible areas like the foundation, attic, crawl spaces, and other areas where wood-destroying organisms are likely to hide.
What happens my home has a WDO infestation?
If an infestation is found during the inspection, your pest control specialist will discuss treatment options tailored to your specific situation. Timely treatment can help minimize damage and prevent further issues.
