WDI & WDO Inspections
What a WDI/WDO inspection covers in the Treasure Valley
For Boise–Meridian–Nampa transactions, lenders and buyers want a clear read on wood-destroying insects/organisms—typically subterranean termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, and wood-decay fungus conditions. We perform a visual, non-invasive inspection of accessible areas (exterior, garage, interiors, attic/crawl if reachable) and document any active activity, evidence of past activity, and conducive conditions (moisture, wood-to-soil contact, grading, vegetation against siding). You’ll receive a formal WDI/WDO report (e.g., NPMA-33 or lender-requested format) with photos, diagrams, and clear recommendations you can act on before closing.
How we conduct the inspection
- Confirm scope with buyer/seller/agent; review disclosures if provided
- Inspect exterior perimeter, foundation, siding breaks, decks/porches
- Check garage, interior baseboards, plumbing/wall penetrations
- Enter accessible attic/crawl to assess mud tubes, moisture, damaged members
- Note conducive factors: negative grade, leaks, irrigation at slab, wood-to-soil
- Photograph findings; mark diagram; complete lender-compatible report
- Clearly separate inspection findings from any treatment options
Before we arrive (make it go fast)
- Ensure access to attic and crawlspace; clear openings and unlock gates
- Move stored items 18–24" away from garage and exterior foundation walls
- Provide any prior termite/WDI reports or treatment warranties you have
- Share utility/irrigation notes and recent leak or repair history
After the inspection (what you’ll get)
- A same-day or next-morning PDF report with photos/diagram (based on access)
- Findings labeled as: Active, Evidence of past, or Conducive
- Plain-English recommendations: moisture fixes, grading, repair/referral notes
- If treatment is advised, a separate scope/estimate so the inspection stays impartial
Common FAQs
- Is this destructive? No—visual and non-invasive.
- Will you open walls? Not during inspection; we note areas that are inaccessible.
- VA/FHA/USDA closings? We complete lender-compatible forms and include photos.
- Who orders it? Buyer, seller, or agent; pre-listing checks are common.

Understanding Wood-Destroying Insects & Organisms
When you think of wood-destroying insects, termites are probably the first to come to mind. However, there is a wide variety of wood-destroying insects that could be lurking in your home. Instead of taking chances by not investigating your home for wood-destroying insects, call the experts at Pestcom Pest Management to take a look. We will be able to help you get a complete understanding of the state of your property.
Wood-destroying insects include species such as:
- Termites
- Carpenter ants
- Carpenter bees
- Woodboring beetles
- Powderpost beetles
In addition to insects that can invade your home and cause damage to the wood structures of your property, other organisms like fungi can cause problems with the structure of your home. Wood decay fungus or rot can grow when there are damp, moist environments. These fungi can be very harmful to your home as well. When we come in for a WDO inspection, we’ll check to verify the presence of these organisms.
Service area includes Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle, Kuna, Star, Middleton, and Garden City.
