At TIER 1 TERMITE, we understand that buying a home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, an experienced buyer, or a real estate professional representing a client, a professional Termite/Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) inspection is an essential part of the transaction. A thorough inspection can identify active termite infestations, previous termite damage, conditions conducive to future infestations, and other wood-destroying organisms before the sale is finalized.

Our licensed inspectors provide detailed, easy-to-understand reports that help buyers, sellers, lenders, and real estate agents make informed decisions. Identifying termite problems before closing can prevent unexpected repair costs, protect your investment, and help ensure a smoother escrow process. If treatment or wood repairs are needed, our experienced team can provide effective solutions to help keep your transaction on schedule.

Schedule a Termite/WDO Inspection with TIER 1 TERMITE

A Wood Destroying Organisms (WDO) Report details a property’s condition regarding wood-destroying organisms such as termites, wood-boring beetles, fungal decay, dry rot, and conditions that may affect the structure. Although termite inspections are not required by California law, many mortgage lenders may request a WDO inspection before approving a home loan. This report helps protect both the lender and the buyer by identifying existing or potential wood-destroying organism issues.

At TIER 1 TERMITE, we make scheduling your termite inspection simple and hassle-free. Whether you’re a homeowner, home buyer, seller, real estate agent, or escrow officer, our team works with your schedule to help keep your transaction moving forward. We offer flexible appointment times, prompt inspections, clear communication, and detailed WDO reports delivered as quickly as possible.

If treatment or termite-related wood repairs are recommended, there’s no need to coordinate multiple contractors. Our experienced team can perform the inspection, provide treatment options, complete termite control services, and repair damaged wood—helping reduce delays and simplify the entire escrow process from start to finish.
