Wood destroying organisms, are defined as arthropods or plant life that can infest decaying, or “seasoned”, wood and cause damage to a structure. A short list of the most common occurring WDO are: termites, powder post beetles, old house borers, and wood-decaying fungi. The thing with WDO is you may not notice the damage until the repair costs reach into the thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. A WDO inspection helps identify damage, and potential damage, caused by different types of wood destroying organisms. The inspections are crucial in determining if you have a pest problem, or something bigger. In fact, wood destroying organisms are such an issue in Florida, you may be required to have an inspection if you are buying or selling a home. WDO inspections shouldn’t only be performed when buying or selling a home. Homeowners should schedule an inspection if they are concerned that wood destroying organisms are present in their homes or if they simply want peace of mind.

A WDO report lets a buyer know if the structure has been damaged by wood destroying organisms and/or if there are wood destroying organisms present.
