Protecting Your Biggest Investment Starts with a Professional WDI Inspection

A home represents the largest financial investment most people make, and hidden wood-destroying insect damage can cost tens of thousands of dollars to repair while compromising structural integrity. WDI (Wood-Destroying Insect) inspections identify active infestations and existing damage from termites, carpenter ants, powderpost beetles, and wood-boring beetles before you complete a purchase or close a sale. For buyers, professional WDI inspections reveal problems that standard home inspections might miss, providing negotiating leverage for repairs or price adjustments and preventing the nightmare of discovering expensive damage after closing. For sellers, obtaining a WDI report before listing demonstrates transparency, addresses concerns proactively, and prevents last-minute transaction delays when buyers request inspections during contingency periods.

Frequently Asked Questions About WDI Inspections

How much does a WDI inspection cost in Indiana?

WDI inspection costs in Indiana typically range from $75-$200 depending on property size, location, accessibility of inspection areas, and urgency of scheduling. Average single-family homes generally cost $100-$150 for comprehensive wood-destroying insect inspections and official reports. Larger properties, homes with extensive crawl spaces, or properties requiring difficult access may cost more. The investment is minimal compared to potential undiscovered damage—termite repairs average $3,000-$8,000, and severe infestations can exceed $20,000 in structural repairs. We provide upfront pricing when scheduling inspections, with no hidden fees or surprise charges for standard inspection services.

What's included in a WDI inspection?

Professional WDI inspections include comprehensive examination of all accessible areas—basements, crawl spaces, attics, attached garages, and exterior foundation perimeters—looking for termites, carpenter ants, powderpost beetles, wood-boring beetles, and conditions conducive to infestations. Inspectors examine structural wood members, foundation areas, door frames, window sills, decks, porches, and anywhere wood-destroying insects typically establish. The inspection produces an official written report documenting findings, identifying species present, noting damage locations, including photographs of evidence, describing conducive conditions like moisture problems or wood-to-ground contact, and providing treatment recommendations.

Do I need a WDI inspection to buy or sell a house in Indiana?

WDI inspections aren't legally required for all Indiana real estate transactions, but many situations necessitate them. FHA and VA loans require WDI inspections for loan approval. Conventional lenders often require WDI reports for properties with crawl spaces, homes in high-termite-activity areas, properties with visible damage or conducive conditions, or houses built before certain years. Even when not lender-required, prudent buyers should obtain WDI inspections for properties over 20 years old, homes with basements or crawl spaces, properties with moisture issues, or any house where wood-destroying insects could cause expensive damage.

How long does a WDI inspection take and when will I get the report?

Most WDI inspections take 45 minutes to 90 minutes depending on property size, number of levels, accessibility of crawl spaces and attics, and complexity of the structure being examined. Our licensed inspectors work thoroughly to examine all accessible areas without rushing inspections that might miss evidence of wood-destroying insects. Reports are typically delivered within 24-48 hours of inspection completion, provided via email in PDF format suitable for forwarding to lenders, real estate agents, and closing companies.
