The Silent Threat: Understanding Wood-Destroying Insects

Wood-destroying insects (WDIs) pose a significant threat to the structural integrity of homes, often causing extensive damage that goes unnoticed for prolonged periods. Detecting the subtle signs of an infestation typically requires the expertise of a certified professional. It’s crucial to understand that WDI activity is not limited to wood-framed homes. These resilient insects and organisms can penetrate various materials, including plaster and even navigate around metal siding, ultimately feeding on wooden components like cabinets, floors, ceilings, and furniture within any type of dwelling.The Importance of a WDI Inspection

We strongly recommend a comprehensive WDI inspection, conducted by a licensed & Certified inspector, who Is qualified to provide an NPMA-33 report, before every home purchase. Our licensed & Certified WDI inspections provide an NPMA-33 report with invaluable insights, identifying observable existing damage or signs of infestation. Furthermore, we check areas of the home that are particularly susceptible to infestations. Common areas of concern include open access points in the foundation, below-grade spaces such as basements, exposed vulnerable wood components, exterior surfaces in contact with vegetation, and areas with high moisture levels.
