A Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) inspection is a detailed evaluation of a property for signs of infestation or damage caused by insects that feed on or nest in wood. These pests—such as termites, carpenter ants, powderpost beetles, and wood-boring beetles—can compromise the structural integrity of a building if left untreated.
At Rust Belt Earthworks, our WDI inspection service includes:
Visual Examination: We inspect accessible areas of the structure, including basements, crawl spaces, attics, garages, and exterior wood elements for signs of insect activity or damage.
Identification of Infestation: We look for telltale signs such as mud tubes, frass (wood dust), exit holes, galleries, and live or dead insects.
Moisture & Entry Point Assessment: We identify conditions conducive to infestation, such as high moisture levels, wood-to-soil contact, and structural vulnerabilities.
Documentation: Our inspection includes a standardized NPMA-33 report (if required for real estate transactions), complete with findings, diagrams, and recommendations.
Treatment & Prevention Guidance: We provide expert advice on remediation options and preventive measures to protect your property from future infestations.
This service is essential for homeowners, buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals to ensure the long-term health and safety of a property.
