Wood Destroying Insect Inspections
β
Let's clear up one of the biggest misconceptions in real estate...
β
A Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) Inspection is NOT just a termite inspection.
β
That's like saying a trip to the zoo is only about the monkeys.
β
Sure, termites are the celebrity of the wood-destroying world, but they're not the only little critters capable of turning your home's framing into an all-you-can-eat buffet.
β
During a WDI inspection, we're looking for evidence of termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, wood-boring beetles, and other wood-destroying insects that can damage the structure of a home.
β
Some of these pests work quietly behind the scenes, causing damage long before the homeowner notices anything is wrong. By the time you see the evidence, they've already been enjoying an extended stay—rent free.
β
At HHI, we know what to look for because these insects leave clues. Tiny holes. Mud tubes. Frass (that's the professional word for bug poop... yes, that's a real thing). Hollow wood. Exit holes. All signs that something has been snacking on your investment.
β
The good news?
β
Finding a problem early can save you thousands of dollars in future repairs.
β
Our licensed inspectors have years of experience and know the difference between an active infestation, previous treatment, and old damage, giving you the information you need to make a confident decision.
β
Because the only guests you want living in your new home are the ones you invite.
At HHI, we inspect for the entire cast of wood-destroying insects—not just the headliner.
