Termite & WDI Inspections in Northeast Ohio & Western Pennsylvania
Wood-destroying insects can silently compromise a home's structure for years before any damage is visible. A+ Home Inspections provides licensed WDI inspections so you know exactly what's hiding behind the walls.
While buyers, agents, and lenders commonly refer to it as a termite inspection, it is technically a Wood Destroying Insect inspection, or WDI. This inspection looks for evidence of all wood-destroying insects, including termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and powder post beetles.
Any of these can cause significant structural damage that's often hidden behind walls, in crawl spaces, or beneath flooring. Some loan types require a WDI inspection before a home purchase can be finalized, and in Ohio, this inspection must be performed by a state-licensed inspector.
Wood-destroying insects can silently compromise the structural integrity of a home over time, leading to costly repairs if left unaddressed.
Because the damage is so often hidden, a home that looks structurally sound can have serious underlying issues that only a trained, licensed inspector can identify. Early detection is the key to protecting your investment.
Buying a Home
A WDI inspection is often required by lenders and gives you documentation of the home's condition before closing, along with leverage to negotiate repairs if activity is found.
Termites
The most common wood-destroying insect in our region, capable of causing extensive hidden damage to framing and structural wood before any visible signs appear.
Carpenter Ants & Bees
These wood-nesting insects can weaken structural members over time, and their damage is often mistaken for termite activity without a trained eye to tell the difference.
Powder Post Beetles
These insects target seasoned hardwood and can leave a home riddled with small exit holes and weakened wood long before the damage is noticed.
WDI inspections in Ohio must be performed by a state-licensed inspector, whether the inspection is scheduled alongside a full home inspection or on its own.
Licensed Inspection
Sean Price is fully licensed and experienced in identifying the subtle signs of infestation that untrained eyes can easily miss.
Thorough Evaluation
The inspection checks accessible areas including crawl spaces, basements, attics, and the home's exterior for evidence of activity, damage, or conditions that could attract wood-destroying insects.
Documented Report
Following the inspection, you'll receive a clear, documented report outlining any findings, whether your inspection is lender-required or for your own peace of mind.
