Smoke Testing
Also known as a Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) inspection, the termite inspection is an inspection for wood-destroying organisms (termites, wood-boring beetles, wood decay fungi, etc) or evidence of wood-destroying organisms (frass, galleries, mud-tubes) in your home.
Who Needs This Inspection?
Home buyers should always have a termite inspection on the home they are looking to purchase. Homeowners should consider a pest control plan that includes yearly termite inspections. VA loan receipients will be required to have a clean WDO report.
Common Findings
It is common in Florida homes to find wood decay fungi, which is basically wood rot from consistent water damage. Evidence of termites is also common in Florida homes, but this does not mean there are active termites in the home.
