WDO Inspection in South Florida
In South Florida's warm, humid climate, termites and other wood destroying organisms are not a remote possibility - they are one of the most common and most expensive problems a home can hide. A WDO inspection checks a home for visible evidence of termites, wood-destroying beetles, and wood decay fungi, and documents the findings on the official Florida form (FDACS-13645) used by lenders and buyers.
An important note about who performs WDO inspections
In Florida, WDO inspections must be performed by a licensed pest control operator. 4 Eyes Home Inspections LLC schedules and coordinates your WDO inspection with a State of Florida licensed pest control contractor, so you can book it together with your home inspection in one call and one visit window - while the inspection and report themselves are performed and signed by the licensed pest professional, as Florida law requires.
What the WDO inspection looks for
Live or evidence of subterranean and drywood termites
Wood-destroying beetles and carpenter ants
Wood decay and fungi damage
Visible damage to structural wood, and conditions that invite infestation
Previous treatment or repairs visible at the time of inspection
Who needs a WDO inspection?
Many lenders - including VA and FHA loan programs - require a WDO report before closing, and Florida buyers commonly order one with their home inspection. If you are buying an older South Florida home, or any home with wood framing, a WDO inspection is inexpensive peace of mind compared to the cost of treating an active infestation or repairing hidden damage.
How it works
1. Call, text, or book online and ask to add a WDO inspection to your home inspection.
2. The licensed pest operator inspects the property, typically during the same visit window as your home inspection.
3. You receive the completed official WDO report for your lender and your records.
Frequently asked questions
Q: What happens if termites or damage are found?
A: The report documents exactly what was found and where, so you can get treatment or repair quotes and negotiate with the seller before closing - with facts, not surprises after you move in.
Q: Can I book a WDO inspection on its own?
A: Yes. While most clients combine it with a full home inspection, a stand-alone WDO inspection can be scheduled on its own.
