Why Schedule a WDI Inspection?
Wood-destroying insects—including termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and wood-boring beetles—can cause significant structural damage if left undetected. In Ohio, the presence of these pests is a major concern during real estate transactions and homeownership, as infestations can reduce property value and lead to expensive repairs.
A WDI inspection offers:
Peace of mind for buyers, sellers, and homeowners
Required documentation for most real estate transactions and VA loans (NPMA-33 form)
Early detection of active infestations, past damage, and risk conditions
Expert recommendations for treatment or prevention

Foundation and basement
